Factors Affecting Attenuation of Solid Dielectric Coaxial Cables Above 3000 Megacycyles

Computations of contributary dielectric, inner conductor stranding and plating, outer conductor coverage and leakage, contact resistance, braid pressure and plating losses, and comparison with laboratory data indicates that the major emphasis to obtain low-loss cables, for use at frequencies above 3 kmc, rests with the outer conductor construction.
