Choosing the Optimal High Frequency Coaxial Cable

Operating frequencies for coaxial transmission lines have steadily climbed from below 1 to 110 GHz and beyond over the last few decades. This has caused RF/microwave engineers to search for coaxial transmission lines capable of effectively transmitting...
Coaxial cable derives its name from the spatial relationship shared between the center conductor and the outer conductor. Figure 1 shows this "co-axial" positioning of conductors. A British engineer and mathematician by the name of Oliver Heaviside first patented the basic design of coaxial cable in 1880 (Patent Number:...
