Abstract: Disclosed is a radiating coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, an insulating layer surrounding the inner conductor, a conductive shield surrounding the insulating layer and a jacket surrounding the shield. The conductive shield comprises a radiating longitudinal shield portion with radiating apertures and a non-radiating longitudinal shield portion with no radiating apertures. The jacket comprises a first jacket portion facing the radiating shield portion and a second jacket portion facing the non-radiating shield portion. The first jacket portion is thicker than the second jacket portion. This way, the cable is more protected against detrimental effects of metal objects brought near to or in contact with its radiating side.

Abstract: Disclosed is a radiating coaxial cable wherein at least one geometric property of the radiating apertures of the cable conductive shield is varied longitudinally, so as to longitudinally vary the shape of the radiation pattern of the cable in a predefined way. Such radiating coaxial cable allows providing a non-uniform radiofrequency coverage by installing a single cable. For example, in a building with different areas having different coverage requirements, the geometric properties of the radiating apertures of the cable may be varied so as to longitudinally vary the shape of the radiation pattern to meet the coverage requirements of the various areas crossed by the cable.
