Abstract
A cable includes an inner conductor and a dielectric layer extending around the inner conductor. The dielectric layer includes a linearly-stretched polypropylene film having a porous structure that includes a plurality of pores that extend through a thickness of the linearly-stretched polypropylene film. The dielectric layer includes air molecules trapped within the pores of the linearly-stretched polypropylene film such that the dielectric layer includes polypropylene and air. The cable includes an outer conductor extending around the dielectric layer.
Claims20
A cable comprising:
- an inner conductor;
- a dielectric layer extending around the inner conductor, the dielectric layer comprising a linearly-stretched polypropylene film having a porous structure that includes a plurality of pores that extend through a thickness of the linearly-stretched polypropylene film, the dielectric layer comprising air molecules trapped within the pores of the linearly-stretched polypropylene film such that the dielectric layer comprises polypropylene and air;
- and
- an outer conductor extending around the dielectric layer.
A cable comprising:
- at least one inner conductor;
- a dielectric layer extending around the at least one inner conductor, the dielectric layer comprising a linearly-stretched polypropylene film having a porous structure that includes a plurality of pores that extend through a thickness of the linearly-stretched polypropylene film, the dielectric layer comprising air molecules trapped within the pores of the linearly-stretched polypropylene film such that the dielectric layer comprises polypropylene and air, the linearly-stretched polypropylene film being cross-linked;
- an outer conductor extending around the dielectric layer;
- and
- a jacket extending around the outer conductor.
A method for assembling a coaxial cable, the method comprising:
- applying a linearly-stretched polypropylene film around an inner conductor of the coaxial cable to form a dielectric layer around the inner conductor, the linearly-stretched polypropylene film having a porous structure that includes a plurality of pores that extend through a thickness of the linearly-stretched polypropylene film;
- and
- applying an outer conductor around the linearly-stretched polypropylene film of the dielectric layer such that air molecules are trapped within the pores of the linearly-stretched polypropylene film.
