Transmission Formulas and Charts for Laminated Coaxial Cables

Theoretical formulas are given for the attenuation constants of Clogston laminated coaxial cables, together with illustrative numerical examples and charts in which the parameters are not too far outside the realm of present manufacturing possibility. In the first section the metal losses in a Clogston cable are discussed and compared with the losses in a conventional coaxial cable, and optimum proportions for the laminated cable are suggested. The second and third sections deal respectively with dielectric losses and the effects of nonuniformity in laminated cables.
