Abstract
A deployable radio frequency (RF) transmission line, comprising at least two members, hinged together for deployment between a folded state and an unfolded state; and at least one bridge component disposed at each inter-member junction to provide RF coupling for the transfer of RF energy between the at least two hinged members.
Claims40
An apparatus for conveying an electrical signal, comprising:
- a first member;
- a second member, hinged to the first member;
- and
- at least one bridge component arranged to provide an electromagnetic coupling between the first and second members, whereby a portion of the bridge member spans a gap between the first and second members;
- wherein the bridge component is configured to be able to move relative to at least one of the first member or second member while maintaining the electromagnetic coupling between the first and second members, such that the length of said portion of the bridge component that spans the gap between the first and second members is variable so as to allow the first and second members to move between a folded state and an unfolded state.
