Coaxial cables are widely used across many industries, from precision RF measurements to high-speed data transmission. In some cases, the key requirement is preserving the exact waveform of a signal. In others, the goal is minimizing attenuation across the transmission path. For optimal performance, the goal is always the...

To transmit signals from point A to point B, one could use two parallel wires. This approach even works in the RF range if impedance is carefully controlled. However, the downside is that the electromagnetic field radiates outward, making it vulnerable to nearby disturbances and environmental interference. Waveguides, on...

Field Testing at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) Between October 2015 and October 2016, two types of coaxial cables were tested under real radiation conditions at the HZDR. An 8-meter Teledyne Storm Microwave Phase Master® 160 and a 10-meter Harbour Industries LL142 were installed behind a beam dump at the ELBE...
