Radiation-hardened electrical cable having trapped-electron reducers

摘要

A radiation-hardened cable which has a central conductor and a first trapped-electron reducer surrounding the central conductor. The first trapped electron reducer is an aluminum layer on a dielectric film whereby the aluminum layer is in electrical contact with the central conductor. A dielectric insulator surrounds the first trapped-electron reducer and a second trapped-electron reducer surrounds the dielectric insulator. The second trapped-electron reducer is an aluminum layer on a dielectric film which is in electrical contact with the dielectric insulator. A metal shield surrounds the second trapped-electron reducer and is in electrical contact with the aluminum layer of the second trapped-electron reducer.
