Abstract
According to some embodiments, a waveguide cable includes a dielectric core and a conducting layer surrounding the dielectric core. A first antenna may be provided at a first end of the waveguide cable to receive a digital signal and to propagate an electromagnetic wave through the dielectric core. A second antenna may be provided at a second end of the waveguide cable, opposite the first end, to receive the electromagnetic wave from the dielectric core and to provide the digital signal.
Claims10
An apparatus, comprising:
- a flexible cable portion associated with an axis extending the length of the flexible cable portion, including:
- a polyurethane dielectric medium extending the length of the flexible cable portion,
- a copper wire braid layer extending the length of the flexible cable portion and surrounding the dielectric medium, and
- an insulating layer extending the length of the cable portion and surrounding the copper wire braid layer;
- a first horizontally polarized antenna extending along the axis, at a first end of the flexible cable portion, to receive a digital signal and to propagate energy through the flexible cable portion;
- and
- a second horizontally polarized antenna extending along the axis, at a second end of the flexible cable portion opposite the first end, to receive the energy from the flexible cable portion and to provide the digital signal.
