Machine tool for forming radiating cable

A system for forming a radiating cable, comprising:

• a radiating machine tool comprising:
• a cable receiving channel,
• a plurality of carriages, wherein each carriage comprises:
• an aperture configured to align with the cable receiving channel, and
• a milling motor comprising a milling cutter, and
• a carriage receiving structure configured to engage an end of each carriage and cause each carriage to rotate about an axis that is coaxial with the cable receiving channel such that the milling cutter of the carriage is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the axis;
• and
• one or more controllers in communication with the radiating machine tool, wherein the one or more controllers are configured to:
• receive a feeding speed associated with feeding a coaxial cable into the cable receiving channel,
• receive a pattern,
• determine a speed of rotation of the carriage by analyzing the feeding speed and the pattern,
• cause one or more of the plurality of carriages to rotate about the axis at the determined speed, and
• cause one or more of the milling cutters of the one or more of the plurality of carriages to perform one or more cutting actions to create one or more slots forming at least a portion of the pattern in an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
