Corrugated coaxial cable with high velocity of propagation and a method of making the same

A corrugated coaxial cable including a core with at least one inner conductor and a highly expanded polymeric foam dielectric surrounding the inner conductor. This coaxial cable has a corrugated outer conductor closely encapsulating the foam dielectric. The corrugated coax cable has a velocity of pr...

More Information
Summary:A corrugated coaxial cable including a core with at least one inner conductor and a highly expanded polymeric foam dielectric surrounding the inner conductor. This coaxial cable has a corrugated outer conductor closely encapsulating the foam dielectric. The corrugated coax cable has a velocity of propagation of greater than 90% of the speed of light, resulting in improved signal propagation characteristics, especially in attenuation, while still maintaining the high flexibility and bending properties which are characteristic of corrugated coaxial cables designs.
