  • Abstract
    We demonstrate that narrow-band tuned circuits may be used for ESD protection of RF inputs, and a figure of merit for optimization of these circuits is presented. The performance of the ESD protected RF circuit is dependent on the quality factor of the ESD device, and various protection devices are evaluated in this work. Broadband circuit protection is also addressed.
