Abstract
A spacer is indicated for a high-frequency coaxial cable with an inner conductor, a tube-shaped outer conductor and a dielectric cavity located between the two conductors which, through the use of different materials, has a higher thermal load capacity in the inner conductor area than in the outer conductor area. When installed, the parts, which are composed of different materials and are superimposed in the radial direction, are mechanically interconnected.

A spacer for a high-frequency coaxial cable with an inner conductor, a tube-shaped outer conductor and a dielectric cavity located between the two conductors, which comprises a first part adjacent the inner conductor and a second part spaced from the inner conductor, the parts are made of different materials so that the first part has a higher thermal load-carrying capacity than the second part, the parts are superimposed in a radial direction and are mechanically interconnected.
A high-frequency coaxial cable comprising:
- (a) an inner conductor;
- (b) a spacer on the inner conductor, the spacer having a first part adjacent the inner conductor and second part spaced from the inner conductor, the parts are made of different materials so that the first part has a higher thermal load-carrying capacity than the second part, the parts are superimposed in a radial direction and mechanically interconnected;
- and
- (c) a tube-shaped outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor and the spacer to create a dielectric cavity located between the inner and outer conductors.
A method of producing a high-frequency coaxial cable, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an inner conductor;
- (b) applying a spacer to the inner conductor, the spacer having a first part adjacent the inner conductor and a second part spaced from the inner conductor, the parts are made of different materials so that the first part has a higher thermal load-carrying capacity than the second part, the parts are superimposed in the radial direction and mechanically interconnected;
- and
- (c) forming a tube-shaped outer conductor around the inner conductor and the spacer to form a dielectric cavity located between the inner and outer conductors.
