Radiating coaxial cable

Abstract

A radiating cable having a longitudinal axis and including an inner conductor, an outer conductor, substantially cylindrical in shape, including a succession of arrays of aperture arrangements, the arrays being distributed along the longitudinal axis according to a sequence of pitch distances, and a dielectric material between the inner conductor and the outer conductor, wherein each array of aperture arrangements includes a number n of aperture arrangements, with n>1, wherein each pitch distance in the sequence of pitch distances is a sum of a base pitch distance and at least one adjustment distance, thereby forming a sequence of base pitch distances and at least one sequence of adjustment distances, and wherein the pitch distances vary non-periodically along the longitudinal axis.
