Abstract
A dielectric waveguide for the transmission of electromagnetic waves is provided comprising a core of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), one or more layers of PTFE cladding overwrapped around the core, the core and/or cladding having mode suppression filters of an electromagnetically glossy material embedded therein, and an electromagnetic shielding layer covering the cladding. The mode suppression filters are preferably mica cards.
