20090151974 | COAXIAL CABLE INCLUDING TUBULAR BIMETALLIC OUTER LAYER WITH FOLDED EDGE PORTIONS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A coaxial cable may include an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric material therebetween. The outer conductor may include a tubular bimetallic layer having a pair of opposing longitudinal edge portions at a longitudinal seam. The tubular bimetallic layer may include an inner metal layer and an outer metal layer bonded thereto. At least one of the opposing longitudinal edge portions may define at least one folded edge portion including an end portion of the outer metal layer extending beyond a corresponding end portion of the inner metal layer and being folded adjacent thereto and defining a non-joined interface therewith. The longitudinal seam may include a welded joint between at least portions of the outer metal layer. | 06-18-2009 |

20130038412 | Corrugated Stripline RF Transmission Cable - A stripline RF transmission cable has a generally planar inner conductor surrounded by a dielectric layer that is surrounded by a corrugated outer conductor. The corrugations may be, for example, annular or helical. The outer conductor has a top section and a bottom section which transition to a pair of edge sections that interconnect the top section with the bottom section. The top section, bottom section and the inner conductor may be provided with generally equal widths. A spacing between the inner conductor and the dielectric layer may be reduced proximate a mid section of the inner conductor. The inner conductor may also be corrugated generally normal to a longitudinal extend of the inner conductor. | 02-14-2013 |
