ELECTROMAGNETIC INTRUDER DETECTOR SENSOR CABLE

摘要

A sensor cable comprising a center conductor surrounded by dielectric material, a first layer comprised of a gapped conductive material surrounding the dielectric material, a second layer having predetermined conductivity at least covering the gaps in the conductive material of the first layer, the predetermined conductivity and thickness of the second layer being such that the skin depth in the second layer at an operating frequency of the cable is much greater than the thickness of the second layer, and inductive coupling into or out of the cable through gaps in the second layer is at least an order of magnitude greater than capacitive coupling into or out of the cable through gaps in the second layer.
