Abstract: In known cables, the cable core is surrounded by a metallic inner layer of a sheath, and the inner layer is enclosed by a corrugated metallic outer layer of the sheath. In these cables, a high resistance against corrosion and high temperatures at a good shielding of the electric conductors is not ensured.The new cable (1) including the inner sheath layer (19) which is made of at least one flexible copper band (11) and defined by an electromagnetic shielding with a shielding attenuation from 80 to 115 dB, with the shield attenuation in this range being dependent from the wall thickness of the inner layer and rising monotonously with increasing wall thickness, and the outer sheath layer (27) which is made of a steel band and increases the high temperature resistance of the cable 1, has the advantages of a good temperature resistance even at high ambient temperatures, like e.g. in case of fire, and a high resistance with regard to corrosion.

Abstract: In a coaxial electrical high-frequency cable, a spacer is provided between the internal conductor and the external conductor in order to maintain the operation of the cable even in the case of elevated ambient temperatures. The spacer can be a helical profile or of individual shaped pieces made of glass or ceramic materials.

Abstract: High-frequency radio waves are transmitted through a coaxial cable having apertures spaced at a distance considerably larger than the wavelength of the signals; the apertures are feed points for surface waves on the cable.

Abstract: A radiating cable is constructed from an inner conductor and a concentric outer conductor being separated from each other by a dielectric spacer; the outer conductor has openings of similar size and configuration but their density varies periodically in axial direction. In one example, the openings are arranged in circumferential rows and axial rows, the number of openings for circumferential row varies periodically in axial direction. In another example, a single axial row has its openings spaced in a periodically variable spacing.

Abstract: A regular, radiating coaxial transmission line is improved by covering it with an insulating coating; similar, cylindrical, radiating elements are equidistantly placed on the line and at a center-to-center distance equal to the wavelength of the center frequency of the h.f. band as transmitted in and through the line.
