Abstract
The dispersion curve and attenuation constant of the open ring line operating in the fundamental dipolar mode is discussed and this line is shown to be a low loss structure. Measurements on a line consisting of equally spaced rings of an aluminium-alloy held by a metallic rod agree with theory. The attenuation is less than 5 dB/km below 1.8 GHz. Possible applications include railway obstacle detection and telecommunications.
