APPLIED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH POWER RF COAXIAL TRANSMISSION LINES: BROADBAND, LOW ATTENUATION, SEMI-FLEXIBLE
Abstract
Two high temperature, low-loss, coaxial cables were developed for operation in the -65 to 350C and -100 to 825C ranges. These cables were developed primarily for use on aircraft, missiles and space vehicles. The semi- air dielectric coaxial cables are produced by a continuous process which consists of spirally wrapping a quartz-filled teflon or braided silica insulator on the inner conductor. The outer conductor is formed from accurately sized silver-clad Inconel or OFHC copper strip. The inner and outer conductors use specially developed metallurgically bonded silver-clad materials that assure a high conducting level at the maximum operating temperatures with good mechanical properties. The two RF transmission lines consist of cable, associated connectors, and pressurization accessories.
