Abstract
A woven electrical transmission cable includes a plurality of longitudinally extending conductor and ground wires which are substantially parallel with one another. These conductor and ground wires are woven together with a number of insulating fiber strands to define a woven pattern wherein the conductor and ground wires define an undulating shape. The amplitude and frequency of the respective undulations are approximately equal if not equal. The woven cable also includes a longitudinally extending warp member at each edge thereof which has a breaking strength which is at least twenty (20) times and preferably fifty (50) times the breaking strength of a conductor or ground wire.
Claims14
A woven electrical transmission cable having controlled impedance comprising:
- a plurality of longitudinal conductor wires arranged in a substantially side by side relationship for transmitting signals;
- a plurality of longitudinal ground wires coextending in a substantially parallel relationship with said conductor wires and separating said conductor wires;
- insulating fiber strands interwoven with said conductor wires and said ground wires to define a woven pattern;
- said woven pattern including said insulating fiber strands woven in the warp and filling directions and said conductor wires and said ground wires woven in said woven pattern to have an undulating shape with the same number of undulations in said conductor wires as in said ground wires so that said conductor wires and associated said ground wires define essentially the same path and the lengths of the conductor wires and ground wires are equal;
- and
- a selvage on each side of said cable.
