SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COAXIALLY COUPLING AN ANTENNA THROUGH AN INSULATOR AND FOR AMPLIFYING SIGNALS ADJACENT THE INSULATOR

摘要

Coaxial coupling systems and methods couple a first coaxial cable that includes a first inner conductor and first shield conductor to a second coaxial cable that includes a second inner conductor and a second shield conductor, through an insulator that includes first and second insulator surfaces. A first center plate and a first surrounding plate are adapted for attachment to the first insulator surface such that the first surrounding plate surrounds the first center plate on the first insulator surface. The first center plate is electrically connected to the first inner conductor and the first surrounding plate is electrically connected to the first shield conductor. A second center plate and a second surrounding plate are adapted for attachment to the second insulator surface and for connection to the second coaxial cable in the same way.
