Miniature RF coaxial cable with corrugated outer conductor

摘要

A miniature coaxial cable having an outside diameter of less than 0.25 inch (6.3 mm). An inner conductor is surrounded by a foamed polymer dielectric and a continuous corrugated metal outer conductor surrounds the foamed dielectric. The cable of the invention has electrical performance superior to that of prior art cables having braided outer conductors and flexibility superior to that of cables having smooth tubular outer conductors.
