Self-supporting stripline RF transmission cable

摘要

A stripline RF transmission cable has a flat inner conductor surrounded by a dielectric layer that is surrounded by an outer conductor. A jacket with an attachment feature surrounds the outer conductor. The attachment feature may be a fin aligned parallel or normal to the inner conductor. The attachment feature may be continuous or periodic along a longitudinal extent of the cable. The attachment feature may include male and female portions dimensioned to couple with one another, enabling adjacent cables to be attached to one another.

1. A self supporting stripline RF transmission cable, comprising:
a flat inner conductor extending between a pair of inner conductor edges; the inner conductor surrounded by a dielectric layer; an outer conductor, with a generally hourglass cross section, surrounding the dielectric layer, wherein the dielectric layer is a continuous layer between the inner conductor and the outer conductor; and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor; the outer conductor provided with a top section and a bottom section; the top section and the bottom section provided spaced farther away from each inner conductor edge than from a midsection of the inner conductor; the jacket provided with an attachment feature.
