The Electrical Modeling with the banded line style RF construction of cable of top and bottom stage shows, the electric field producing by the transmission of the RF signal along cable 1 and with respect to the corresponding current density of the cross section of cable 1, inner conductor edge 3 ratios along the either side place at inner conductor 5 are large at middle part 7 places of inner conductor, and this top has the width similar to the width of inner conductor (as Figure 1-4) with bottom stage.
For the material that dielectric layer 30 is selected, except the variation dielectric constant of the tuning dielectric layer cross section dielectric profile for reducing in order to decay is provided, also can be chosen to the architectural characteristic that generates cable 1 in order to strengthen.
Selectively and/or additionally, electric field strength and corresponding current density also can be by being adjusted at distance between external conductor 25 and the middle part 7 of inner conductor 5 balance.For example, as shown in Figure 5, external conductor 25 can be arranged to must, than far away with the middle part 7 of inner conductor 5, produce the roughly cross section of hourglass shape with each inner conductor edge 3 is spaced apart.Distance between external conductor 25 and the middle part 7 of inner conductor 5 can be less than between inner conductor edge 3 and external conductor 25 (at edge section 20 places) distance for example 0.7.
