That is, the inner magnetic layer 24a is formed on the inside of the resin substrate 22, and the outer magnetic layer 24b is formed on the outside of the metal layer 23. At least one of the inner magnetic layer 24a and the outer magnetic layer 24b is configured so that the magnetic material is oriented.
- the inner magnetic layer 24a functions, for example, as a magnetic shield against conductive noise propagating through the transmission section 10, and attenuates the conductive noise.
- the outer magnetic layer 24b functions, for example, as a magnetic shield against spatial noise propagating through the space outside the cable 100, and suppresses the intrusion of spatial noise into the transmission section 10.
- the inner magnetic layer 24a has the function of converting conductive noise into heat by using the high-frequency resistance indicated by the imaginary part ⁇ '', while the outer magnetic layer 24b has the function of a magnetic shield to prevent the influence of magnetic fields by using the inductance component indicated by the real part ⁇ '.

- FIG. 6 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of cable 100 cut along a plane including the center line of cable 100. Note that in FIG. 6, layers other than adhesive layer 25 constituting magnetic tape 20 are omitted. Here, layers other than adhesive layer 25 may be referred to as tape body 35.
- the magnetic tape 20 is wound horizontally around the transmission section 10.
- Horizontal winding is a method of winding the tape in a spiral shape while closely adhering it to the surface of the object. This makes it possible to avoid a situation in which the flexibility of the cable 100 is reduced by winding the magnetic tape 20.
- the stress on the magnetic tape 20 is alleviated when the cable 100 is bent. This makes it difficult for the magnetic tape 20 to deform in the bent portion, and makes it difficult for gaps to occur between the magnetic tape 20 and the transmission section 10, or between the wound magnetic tapes 20.
- the magnetic tape 20 is wound horizontally around the transmission section 10 so as to overlap in the width direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the magnetic tape 20 is wound in a spiral shape so that a portion of the tape overlaps the upper side of the already wound portion.
- the magnetic resin layer 30 is made of a magnetic resin that absorbs radio waves, and covers the magnetic tape 20. Since the magnetic resin layer 30 is made of a magnetic resin, it itself has a function as a magnetic shield. It is preferable that the magnetic resin layer 30 directly covers the magnetic tape 20.
- directly covering the magnetic tape 20 means providing the magnetic resin layer 30 so that the outer surface of the magnetic tape 20 and the magnetic resin are in contact with each other.
- the outer magnetic layer 24b is formed on the outermost side of the magnetic tape 20.
- the magnetic resin layer 30 directly covers this outer magnetic layer 24b. That is, the magnetic resin layer 30 is configured to cover the periphery of the magnetic tape 20 (outer magnetic layer 24b) while being in contact with the outer surface of the magnetic tape 20 (outer magnetic layer 24b).
- FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a magnetic resin.
- FIG. 7 shows a schematic cross-sectional configuration of the magnetic resin 31 used in the magnetic resin layer 30.
- the magnetic resin 31 has a synthetic resin 32 as a base material and magnetic powder 26 (magnetic material), and is a magnetic powder mixed resin in which the synthetic resin 32 is mixed with the magnetic powder 26.
- the synthetic resin 32 is polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
- PVC polyvinyl chloride
- Other synthetic resins such as styrene-based elastomers and olefin-based elastomers may also be used.
- the magnetic powder 26 for example, iron powder, ferrite powder, carbon powder, etc. are used. These magnetic powders 26 are mixed alone or in combination with each other into the synthetic resin 32. There are no limitations on the type of magnetic powder, and for example, magnetic powders such as Ni-Cu-Zn ferrite, Mn-Zn ferrite, soft magnetic metal, copper, magnesium, lithium, zinc, iron (for example, permalloy), and cobalt can be used.
- the type of magnetic powder 26 contained in the magnetic resin layer 30 and the type of magnetic powder 26 constituting the magnetic layer 24 of the magnetic tape 20 described above may be the same or different.
- the proportion of iron powder or ferrite powder contained in the magnetic resin 31 is 70% or more and 90% or less by weight in the magnetic resin 31.
- the magnetic powder 26 is not aligned, and each magnetic powder 26 is dispersed facing in various directions.
- the magnetic powder 26 is not oriented.
- the magnetic resin 31 functions as a magnetic shield.
- the magnetic resin 31 can also coat the outside of the magnetic tape 20 without leaving any gaps. This makes it possible to use the magnetic resin 31 to reinforce, for example, parts of the magnetic tape 20 where the shielding effect is weak (such as gaps in the magnetic tape 20). This point will be described later.
- the cable 100 is provided with an insulating outer jacket layer 33 that covers the magnetic resin layer 30.
- the outer jacket layer 33 is generally called a sheath, and is a cover that protects the contents of the cable 100 and prevents electric leakage from the cable 100.
- an insulating material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, or elastomer is used.
- the magnetic layer 24 constituting the magnetic tape 20 is a layer formed by aligning the orientation of the magnetic material (magnetic powder 26) and applying or depositing the magnetic material on the tape substrate 21 (see FIG. 5). For this reason, the magnetic permeability of the magnetic tape 20 is extremely high compared to, for example, magnetic resin 31 (see FIG. 7) which is formed by dispersing the magnetic material (magnetic powder 26) in synthetic resin 32.
- the real part ⁇ ' of the complex permeability was 8 in the magnetic resin 31 but became 200 in the magnetic layer 24 of the magnetic tape 20
- the imaginary part ⁇ '' of the complex permeability was 2 in the magnetic resin 31 but became 50 in the magnetic layer 24 of the magnetic tape 20.
- both the real and imaginary parts of the complex permeability are improved, making it possible to significantly improve performance as a magnetic shield.
- the magnetic tape 20 is a tape-shaped member, it is wrapped around the transmission section 10 of the cable 100 before use. As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the magnetic tape 20 is wrapped horizontally around the transmission section 10, taking into consideration the flexibility of the cable 100. At this time, the magnetic tape 20 is wrapped so that it overlaps in the width direction, so that the transmission section 10 is not exposed.
- the magnetic tape 20 is provided so as to avoid discontinuities in the magnetic material as much as possible, but it may be arranged via an adhesive layer 25 (adhesive, etc.), which creates gaps between the tapes.
- an adhesive layer 25 adheresive, etc.
- the outer tape body 35 overlaps the inner tape body 35 via the adhesive layer 25. That is, a gap is formed by the adhesive layer 25 between the overlapping tape bodies 35.
- This gap becomes a discontinuity in the magnetic layer 24 (the inner magnetic layer 24a and the outer magnetic layer 24b) that constitutes the tape body 35, which may lead to a decrease in shielding performance.
- the gaps and the like in the overlapping portion 27 may become larger, and the shielding performance of the magnetic tape 20 may be significantly reduced.
- the outside of magnetic tape 20 is covered with magnetic resin 31 (magnetic resin layer 30).
- the entire magnetic tape 20 is covered with magnetic resin 31, including the portion where gaps occur in magnetic tape 20 (specifically, side end surface 28 of the outer magnetic tape 20 in overlapping portion 27).
- the magnetic resin 31 has a lower magnetic permeability than the magnetic tape 20, it is a material that allows magnetic flux to pass through it. Therefore, by covering it with magnetic resin 31, the magnetic flux is not interrupted in the gaps in the magnetic tape 20. In other words, the magnetic resin 31 functions to connect the magnetic flux in the gaps between the magnetic tapes 20. As a result, the performance of the cable 100 as a magnetic shield is greatly improved.
- the magnetic tape 20 has a magnetic layer 24 (outer magnetic layer 24b) on the outside, the magnetic layer 24 covered with the magnetic resin 31 functions as a continuous magnetic material throughout the cable 100, providing high shielding performance. From this perspective, it is preferable that the magnetic layer is formed at least on the surface of the tape substrate 21 that faces outward.
- a member (magnetic tape 20) made of magnetic material oriented in a tape shape is wound around the outside of transmission section 10 for transmitting signals, etc., and the outside of this is further covered with resin (magnetic resin 31) containing magnetic material. This prevents the magnetic flux from being cut off in the gaps in magnetic tape 20, making it possible to significantly improve the shielding performance of cable 100.

- the signal wire 11 is coated with the molten resin.
- the resin that has coated the signal wire 11 is cooled by passing it through a water channel or the like. As a result, the insulating layer 12 is formed around the signal wire 11.
- the shielding layer 13 is formed around the insulating layer 12.
- a conductive sheet 14 and a braided wire 15 are provided as the shielding layer 13. Note that in FIG. 9A, the shielding layer 13 is illustrated without illustrating the conductive sheet 14 and the braided wire 15.
- the conductive sheet 14 is, for example, a tape-shaped member provided with an adhesive, and is wound transversely around the insulating layer 12 with the adhesive attached to the outer side of the insulating layer 12 .
- the conductive sheet 14 may be wound vertically.
- Vertical winding is a method of winding a sheet in close contact with the surface of a wire so that the extension direction of the sheet coincides with the extension direction of the wire to be wound. In this case, the conductive sheet 14 is wound vertically around the insulating layer 12 so that the ends of the conductive sheet 14 along the extension direction overlap each other.
- a braided wire 15 is formed on the outside of the conductor sheet 14.
- multiple soft copper wires (strands) are woven on the outside of the conductor sheet 14 to form the braided wire 15.
- the braided wire 15 may be formed first as the shielding layer 13, and then the conductor sheet 14 may be wrapped around the braided wire 15.
- the shielding layer 13 may also be composed of only the braided wire 15.

- the intermediate wire 16a that is the transmission section 10 with the magnetic tape 20 wrapped around the outside may be referred to as intermediate wire 16b.
- intermediate wire 16b is formed by winding magnetic tape 20 horizontally around the outside of intermediate wire 16a (outside shield layer 13 of transmission section 10) so that the magnetic tape 20 partially overlaps.
- a feeder that supplies magnetic tape 20 supplies magnetic tape 20 while rotating around intermediate wire 16a, which is fed out at a constant speed, so that magnetic tape 20 is wound horizontally in a spiral shape around intermediate wire 16a.
- the speed at which intermediate wire 16a is fed out and the rotation speed of the feeder are appropriately set so that the magnetic tape 20 partially overlaps.
- the magnetic tape 20 is wound in a spiral shape so that the ends of the magnetic tape 20 along the extension direction overlap. Therefore, the overlapping portion 27 where the magnetic tapes 20 overlap, and the side end surface 28 of the magnetic tape 20 on the outer side of the overlapping portion 27 are also formed in a spiral shape. Note that in Figure 9B, the end edge of the magnetic tape 20 that is on the inner side of the overlapping portion 27 is shown by a dotted line.
- a pre-manufactured magnetic tape 20 is prepared and the cable 100 is manufactured, but a step of manufacturing the magnetic tape 20 may be carried out before step 102 .
- a resin base material 22 (tape base material 21) is formed having a metal layer 23 on its surface.
- metal layer 23 For example, aluminum foil that will become the metal layer 23 is attached to the resin base material 22.
- a magnetic layer 24 is formed on the surface of the tape substrate 21 so that the magnetic material is oriented.
- an inner magnetic layer 24a is formed on the inner surface of the tape substrate 21, and an outer magnetic layer 24b is formed on the outer surface of the tape substrate 21.
- the inner magnetic layer 24a and the outer magnetic layer 24b are formed, for example, by applying a slurry containing the magnetic material.
- the inner magnetic layer 24a and the outer magnetic layer 24b may also be formed, for example, by vapor deposition or sputtering.
- an adhesive layer 25 is formed on the surface (the surface of the inner magnetic layer 24a) that will become the inner side of the magnetic tape 20.
- the adhesive layer 25 is formed by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive to the surface that will become the inner side of the magnetic tape 20.
- the magnetic tape 20 thus manufactured is wound around the intermediate wire 16a from a predetermined feeder to form the intermediate wire 16b.
- the magnetic tape 20 is coated with magnetic resin 31 that absorbs radio waves to form a magnetic resin layer 30 (step 103).
- Figure 9C shows a schematic diagram of the magnetic resin layer 30 formed in step 103.
- the intermediate wire 16b with the magnetic tape 20 wound around the transmission section 10, with the outside coated with the magnetic resin layer 30, may be referred to as intermediate wire 16c.
- the magnetic resin layer 30 is typically formed by extrusion molding.
- the intermediate wire 16b is passed through a die, and while the intermediate wire 16b is being pulled out, heated and melted magnetic resin 31 is extruded around the intermediate wire 16b (magnetic tape 20).
- the magnetic tape 20 is coated with the melted resin.
- the magnetic resin 31 that has coated the magnetic tape 20 is cooled by passing it through a water channel or the like. As a result, the magnetic resin layer 30 is formed around the magnetic tape 20.
- the magnetic resin layer 30 is a resin coating formed by extruding the magnetic resin 31 onto the intermediate wire 16b having the magnetic tape 20 wound around the transmission section 10.
- the intermediate wire 16b corresponds to an intermediate body having the magnetic tape wound around the transmission section.
- the molten magnetic resin 31 is supplied around the magnetic tape 20. Therefore, the entire magnetic tape 20 is covered with the magnetic resin 31 without any gaps, including the side end faces 28 which are the gaps between the magnetic layers 24 in the overlapping portions 27. This makes it possible to sufficiently prevent a situation in which the magnetic flux is interrupted in the gaps between the magnetic tapes 20, causing noise to enter the transmission section 10.
- FIG. 9D shows a schematic diagram of the outer jacket layer 33 formed in step 104.
- the intermediate wire 16c provided with the outer jacket layer 33 becomes the cable 100.
- Extrusion molding is typically used to form the outer coating layer 33.
- the intermediate wire 16c is passed through a die, and while the intermediate wire 16c is being pulled out, heated and melted insulating resin (resin that will become the outer coating layer 33) is extruded around the intermediate wire 16c (magnetic resin layer 30).
- the magnetic resin layer 30 is coated with the molten resin.
- the magnetic resin 31 that coats the magnetic resin layer 30 is cooled by passing it through a water channel or the like. As a result, the outer coating layer 33 is formed around the magnetic resin layer 30.
- Noise characteristic evaluation The following describes the evaluation of noise characteristics of the cable 100 according to the present embodiment described with reference to Figures 3A and 3B etc.

- the reception strength of the comparative cable 40b includes multiple peaks exceeding -80 dBm, but is generally lower than that of the comparative cable 40a.
- the reception strength of the comparative cable 40b is approximately -90 dBm.
- the reception strength of cable 100 to which this technology is applied is approximately -90 dBm on the low frequency side of the measurement range when the antenna direction is horizontal, and at most -80 dBm on the high frequency side. Furthermore, the reception strength of cable 100 is approximately -90 dBm throughout the entire measurement range when the antenna direction is vertical. In other words, in the range of 30 MHz to 300 MHz, it can be said that the reception strength of cable 100 to which this technology is applied is sufficiently suppressed compared to comparison cable 40a and comparison cable 40b.
- the reception strength of the comparison cable 40a includes multiple peaks exceeding -80 dBm over the entire measurement range, and peaks exceeding -70 dBm are also measured on the low frequency side.

In other words, it has become clear that cable 100 to which this technology is applied exhibits extremely high noise resistance performance in emission and immunity measurements.
- the magnetic tape 20 wrapped around the transmission section 10 is covered with the magnetic resin layer 30.
- shielding performance is maintained even if gaps or the like occur in the magnetic tape 20 due to bending. As a result, it is possible to realize a cable that suppresses noise intrusion and radiation and whose performance is less likely to deteriorate even when bent.
- the magnetic shield of a cable is made of magnetic resin
- magnetic materials such as ferrite are dispersed in the synthetic resin that is the base material of the magnetic resin.
- the magnetic flux is cut by the synthetic resin within the magnetic resin, making it difficult to increase the magnetic permeability, and the effect as a magnetic shield cannot be fully improved.
- the magnetic resin can completely seal and cover the transmission section that forms the core of the cable, there is no significant degradation in performance.
- magnetic shield of a cable using only magnetic tape.
- magnetic tapes that achieve high magnetic permeability have been developed by forming a magnetic layer on the surface of tape material containing metals such as aluminum through coating or deposition to align the orientation. Such magnetic tapes are used in USB cables and the like.
- magnetic tape has high magnetic permeability, any gaps that may occur may allow noise to enter or radiate, reducing its effectiveness as a magnetic shield.
- the magnetic tape 20 is covered with a magnetic resin layer 30. That is, the cable 100 is configured such that a tape coated with a magnetic material is covered with a resin in which the magnetic material is dispersed. In this way, by winding the magnetic tape 20 and then covering it with the magnetic resin layer 30, noise does not leak from the gaps in the magnetic tape 20. In addition, because the magnetic flux is coupled in the gaps in the magnetic tape 20 by the magnetic resin layer 30, it is possible to realize a magnetic shield by the entire cable 100 due to the high magnetic permeability of the magnetic tape 20.
- the magnetic permeability is high, the high frequency impedance is high, making it possible to significantly reduce the conducted noise received from the device to which the cable 100 is connected.
- the spatial noise radiated noise
- the cable 100 is bent, and a magnetic shield were to be formed using only the magnetic tape 20, the gaps in the magnetic tape 20 would become larger, which could result in a deterioration in shielding performance.
- the cable 100 has a magnetic resin layer 30 around the magnetic tape 20, so that even if the gaps in the magnetic tape 20 become larger due to bending, the magnetic flux is less likely to be cut off, and the shielding performance is less likely to deteriorate. For this reason, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the high-frequency current that enters the cable 100, even when the cable 100 is bent.
- the magnetic material in the magnetic tape 20 it is possible to achieve high magnetic permeability without increasing the thickness of the magnetic layer 24.
- the diameter of the cable 100 it is possible to make the diameter of the cable 100 sufficiently small compared to, for example, the comparative cable 40b described above, which has two layers of magnetic resin.
- the thin magnetic tape 20 it is possible to achieve a diameter that is almost the same as that of a conventional cable that does not have a magnetic shield, such as the comparative cable 40a.
- the magnetic tape 20 can be wound horizontally, and can be configured without impairing the flexibility of the cable 100. This makes it possible to realize a cable 100 that is highly flexible and easy to handle, without performance degradation due to bending.
- the magnetic layer 24 is provided on both sides (the inner surface and the outer surface) of the tape substrate 21 in the magnetic tape 20.
- this is not limited thereto, and the magnetic layer 24 may be formed on one side of the tape substrate 21.
- 17 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the configuration of a magnetic tape 20a, in which a magnetic layer 24 is formed on one side of a tape substrate 21.
- the magnetic tape 20a has, in order from the inside, an adhesive layer 25, a resin substrate 22, a metal layer 23, and a magnetic layer 24.
- the resin substrate 22 and the metal layer 23 form the tape substrate 21. That is, in the magnetic tape 20a, the adhesive layer 25 is formed on the inside of the tape substrate 21 (the inside of the resin substrate 22), and the magnetic layer 24 is formed on the outside of the tape substrate 21 (the outside of the metal layer 23).
- the magnetic tape 20a has a configuration similar to that of the magnetic tape 20 described with reference to FIG. 3A etc., except that the inner magnetic layer 24a has been eliminated and only the outer magnetic layer 24b remains.
- the magnetic tape 20a is wound around the transmission section 10 (see FIG. 3A, etc.) with the magnetic layer 24 on the outside.
- the magnetic tape 20a is typically wound horizontally.
- the magnetic tape 20a wound around the transmission section 10 is covered with a magnetic resin layer 30. In this way, by forming the magnetic layer 24 on the surface facing outward of the tape substrate 21, the magnetic flux is not interrupted in the gaps in the magnetic tape 20, making it possible to significantly improve performance as a magnetic shield.
- the magnetic layer 24 is formed only on the inside of the tape substrate 21. Even in this case, the magnetic layer 24 has high magnetic permeability, making it possible to sufficiently suppress, for example, conductive noise transmitted through a cable.
- the magnetic resin layer 30 formed on the outside of the magnetic layer 24 also functions as a magnetic shield, making it possible to sufficiently attenuate, for example, spatial noise entering from outside the cable.
- a tape-shaped member in which the metal layer 23 is formed on the resin base material 22 has been described as the tape base material 21.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and a metal tape base material 21 that does not include the resin base material 22 may be used.
- Fig. 18 is a schematic diagram showing another example of the configuration of a magnetic tape.
- a tape substrate 21 is a metal tape made of a metal foil made of any one of aluminum, copper, and iron.
- the magnetic tape 20b has, in order from the inside, an adhesive layer 25, an inner magnetic layer 24a, a metal layer 23, and an outer magnetic layer 24b.
- the metal layer 23 is a metallic tape made of metal foil, and is the tape substrate 21 of the magnetic tape 20b. That is, in the magnetic tape 20b, the magnetic layers 24 (the inner magnetic layer 24a and the outer magnetic layer 24b) are formed on both sides of the metallic tape substrate 21 (metal layer 23) which is made without using a resin substrate or the like. In this way, the magnetic tape 20b can be said to have a configuration in which the resin substrate 22 has been eliminated from the magnetic tape 20 described with reference to FIG. 3A etc.
- the metallic tape substrate 21 itself functions as an electric field shield, making it possible to reflect, for example, the electric field components of spatial noise that enter the cable from outside. This makes it possible to make the magnetic tape 20b thinner overall while maintaining shielding performance, compared to the magnetic tape 20 shown in FIG. 3A, for example.
- the adhesive layer is provided on the innermost side of the magnetic tape.
- the adhesive layer may be provided on the outermost side of the magnetic tape.
- the magnetic tape may also be used with the inner and outer sides reversed. In other words, the magnetic tape may be used so that the adhesive layer is located on the outermost side.
- the magnetic tape is wound horizontally so that it partially overlaps. At that time, the inner and outer magnetic tapes are adhered to each other at the overlapping parts. Even with this configuration, it is possible to achieve high shielding performance by providing a magnetic resin layer on the outer side of the magnetic tape.
- the tape substrate of the magnetic tape does not need to have a metal layer.
- a resin substrate alone may be used as the tape substrate, and an oriented magnetic layer may be formed on both sides (or one side) of the resin substrate.
- the magnetic tape will no longer function as an electric field shield, but it is possible to configure an effective magnetic shield using the magnetic layer with high magnetic permeability. It is also possible to eliminate the adhesive layer of the magnetic tape.
- the method of winding the magnetic tape is not limited to this.
- the magnetic tape may also be wound in other ways.
- the magnetic tape may be wound transversely around the transmission section so that the side end faces of the magnetic tape are in contact with each other. That is, the magnetic tape may be wound in a spiral shape so that the magnetic tape does not overlap in the width direction and so that no gaps are formed between the side end faces of the magnetic tape.
- the magnetic tape may be wound transversely around the transmission section so that there is a gap between the side end faces. In this case, the amount of magnetic tape used is reduced, making it possible to reduce the material cost of the cable.
- the gap between the side end faces is filled with a magnetic resin layer, making it possible to make it difficult for the magnetic flux to be cut off.
- the magnetic tape may be wound vertically.
- the magnetic tape When the magnetic tape is wound vertically, the magnetic tape is wound tightly around the surface of the transmission section so that the extension direction of the magnetic tape coincides with the extension direction of the transmission section.
- the magnetic tape may be wound lengthwise around the transmission section so that the side end faces overlap in the width direction, thereby making it possible to completely cover the transmission section with the magnetic tape.
- the magnetic tape may be wound vertically so that its side end faces are in contact and so as to cover the transmission section. That is, the magnetic tape may be wound to encase the transmission section so that it does not overlap in the width direction and so that no gaps are formed between the side end faces of the magnetic tape.
- the magnetic tape may be wound vertically around the transmission section so that there is a gap between the side end faces. Even in this case, the gap between the side end faces is filled with a magnetic resin layer, making it possible to make it difficult for the magnetic flux to be cut off.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and an intermediate layer may be formed between the magnetic tape and the magnetic resin layer.
- the intermediate layer is, for example, a resin layer for improving the adhesion of the magnetic resin layer to the magnetic tape. In this case, for example, when the cable is bent, a gap is unlikely to occur between the magnetic tape and the magnetic resin layer, making it possible to suppress the deterioration of the shielding performance due to bending.
- the type of the intermediate layer is not limited.
- the thickness of the intermediate layer is set to a value that allows the magnetic resin layer to function as a magnetic flux connection layer in the gaps between the magnetic tapes. This can improve the shielding performance of the cable.

Description
前記伝送部は、信号又は電力を伝送する少なくとも1つの伝送線を有する。
前記磁性テープは、電波を吸収する磁性層を有し、前記伝送部の周囲に巻かれる。
前記磁性樹脂層は、電波を吸収する磁性樹脂からなり、前記磁性テープを被覆する。
信号又は電力を伝送する少なくとも1つの伝送線を有する伝送部を形成する工程。
電波を吸収する磁性層を有する磁性テープを前記伝送部の周囲に巻き付ける工程。
電波を吸収する磁性樹脂を前記磁性テープに被覆して磁性樹脂層を形成する工程。
図1は、近傍界及び遠方界について説明するためのグラフである。ここでは、アンテナが発生する電磁界の特性について説明する。例えば、アンテナの近くで電磁シールドを使う場合、シールドの効果は波動インピーダンスにより変化する。ここで、波動インピーダンスとは、ある場所における電界(E)と磁界(H)の比率(E/H)である。
図3Aは、本実施形態に係るケーブルの構成例を示す模式的な断面図である。図3Bは、本実施形態に係るケーブルの構成例を示す模式的な側面図である。図3Aは、ケーブル100の中心を通る中心線に直交する面でケーブル100を切断した断面図であり、図3Bは、中心線に直交する方向から見たケーブル100の側面図である。
ケーブル100は、伝送部10、磁性テープ20、磁性樹脂層30(内部シース)、及び外被層33を有する。
ポリエステル系樹脂は、例えば、PET(ポリエチレンテレフタレート)、PEN(ポリエチレンナフタレート)、PBT(ポリブチレンテレフタレート)、PBN(ポリブチレンナフタレート)、PCT(ポリシクロヘキシレンジメチレンテレフタレート)、PEB(ポリエチレン-p(オキシベンゾエート)、およびポリエチレンビスフェノキシカルボキシレートからなる群より選ばれた少なくとも1種を含む。樹脂基材22が2種以上のポリエステル系樹脂を含む場合、それらの2種以上のポリエステル系樹脂は混合されていてもよいし、共重合されていてもよいし、または積層されていてもよい。ポリエステル系樹脂の末端および側鎖の少なくとも一方が変性されていてもよい。樹脂基材22は、ポリエステル系樹脂に加えて、後述のポリエステル系樹脂以外の樹脂を含んでもよい。
本実施形態では、磁性層24は、テープ基材21の表面に磁性粉26(磁性材料)が配向するように塗布された磁性粉26の塗布層である。
蒸着やスパッタを用いる場合、各磁性粉26はテープ基材21上に積層される過程で配向される。これらの方法により、例えば磁性層24として緻密な積層膜を所望の膜厚で構成することが可能となる。
μ=μ'-jμ'' ・・・(1)
磁性樹脂層30は、磁性テープ20を直接被覆することが好ましい。ここで、磁性テープ20を直接被覆することは、磁性テープ20の外側の表面と磁性樹脂とが接触するように磁性樹脂層30を設けることである。
本実施形態では、磁性テープ20の最も外側に外側磁性層24bが形成される。磁性樹脂層30は、この外側磁性層24bを直接被覆する。すなわち、磁性樹脂層30は、磁性テープ20(外側磁性層24b)の外側の表面に接触した状態で磁性テープ20(外側磁性層24b)の周囲を覆うように構成される。
なお、磁性樹脂層30に含まれる磁性粉26と、上記した磁性テープ20の磁性層24を構成する磁性粉26の種類は、同じであってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。
磁性テープ20を構成する磁性層24は、磁性材料(磁性粉26)の配向を整えて、テープ基材21上に塗布や蒸着等により形成された層である(図5参照)。このため、例えば磁性材料(磁性粉26)が合成樹脂32の中に分散されて構成されている磁性樹脂31(図7参照)と比べて、磁性テープ20の透磁率は非常に高くなる。
特にケーブル100が屈曲した場合には、重複部27における隙間等が拡大し、磁性テープ20によるシールド性能が大きく低下する可能性がある。
図8は、ケーブルの製造方法の一例を示すフローチャートである。図9は、ケーブルを製造する工程について説明するための模式図である。以下では、図8及び図9を参照してケーブル100の製造方法について説明する。
なお導体シート14の巻き方は縦巻きでもよい。縦巻きは、例えばシートの延長方向が、巻き付ける対象となる線材の延長方向と一致するように、線材の表面にシートを密着させて巻き付ける方法である。この場合、導体シート14の延長方向に沿った端部同士が重なるように、絶縁層12の周りに導体シート14が縦巻きされる。
磁性テープ20を製造する工程では、まず表面に金属層23を設けた樹脂基材22(テープ基材21)が形成される。例えば金属層23となるアルミ箔が、樹脂基材22に貼り付けられる。
このように製造された磁性テープ20が、所定のフィーダーから中間線材16aに巻き付けられ、中間線材16bが形成される。
押出成形では、上記したように、磁性テープ20の周囲に溶融した磁性樹脂31が供給される。このため、重複部27において磁性層24の切れ目となる側端面28を含め、磁性テープ20全体が隙間なく磁性樹脂31に覆われる。これにより、磁性テープ20同士の隙間等において磁束が切れて伝送部10にノイズが侵入するといった事態を十分に回避することが可能となる。
以下では、図3A及び図3B等を参照して説明した本実施形態に係るケーブル100についてのノイズ特性の評価について説明する。ノイズ特性の評価としては、ケーブル100から放射される空間ノイズを測定したエミッション測定(放射ノイズ評価)と、ケーブル100に侵入する空間ノイズを測定したイミュニティ測定(耐ノイズ評価)とを行った。また各測定では、比較のために2種類の比較用ケーブルを用いた。
図10Aに示す比較用ケーブル40aは、磁気シールドの設けられていない通常の同軸ケーブルである。比較用ケーブル40aでは、内側から順番に、信号線11と、絶縁層12と、導体シート14と、編組線15と、外被層33とが設けられる。すなわち比較用ケーブル40aでは、伝送部(信号線11、絶縁層12、導体シート14、編組線15)の周りに磁性材料を用いた層(磁気シールドとなる層)は設けられていない。
図11A及び図11Bは、エミッション測定の一例を示す模式図である。図11Aは、バイコニカルアンテナ43を用いたエミッション測定の配置例を示す図であり、図11Bは、ログペリオディックアンテナ45を用いたエミッション測定の配置例を示す図である。
図12の上段に示すように、比較用ケーブル40aの放射強度は、アンテナ方向が水平である場合、測定範囲全体で概ね-70dBm以上となり、-50dBmを超えるピークも含む。なお、比較用ケーブル40aの放射強度は、アンテナ方向が垂直である場合、測定範囲全体で概ね-80dBm以下となり、水平の場合と比べて小さい。
図12の中段に示すように、比較用ケーブル40bの放射強度は、アンテナ方向が水平である場合、測定範囲全体で-70dBm以下となる。一方で、比較用ケーブル40aの放射強度は、アンテナ方向が垂直である場合、-70dBm以上となる場合もある。
図13の上段に示すように、比較用ケーブル40aの放射強度は、アンテナ方向が水平である場合、測定範囲全体に-70dBmを超える複数のピークを含み、低周波数側では-60dBmを超えるピークも測定される。なお、比較用ケーブル40aの放射強度は、アンテナ方向が垂直である場合、水平の場合と比べて小さく、測定範囲の低周波数側を除くと-80dBm以下である。
図13の中段に示すように、比較用ケーブル40bの放射強度は、アンテナ方向が水平である場合、高周波数側では-70dBmを超えるピークを含むが、低周波数側では-70dBm以下であり、比較用ケーブル40aに見られるような-60dBmを超えるピークはない。なお、アンテナ方向が垂直である場合も、水平の場合と同様であり、比較用ケーブル40aと比べると、放射強度が大きい。
図14A及び図14Bは、イミュニティ測定の一例を示す模式図である。図14Aは、バイコニカルアンテナ43を用いたイミュニティ測定の配置例を示す図であり、図14Bは、ログペリオディックアンテナ45を用いたイミュニティ測定の配置例を示す図である。
なお測定ケーブルの一端は、スペクトラムアナライザーに接続し、測定ケーブルの他端は、50Ωで終端した。またバイコニカルアンテナ43及びログペリオディックアンテナ45は、シグナルジェネレータ48に接続した。
図15の上段に示すように、比較用ケーブル40aの受信強度は、アンテナ方向が水平である場合、測定範囲全体で概ね-80dBm以上となり、-60dBmを超えるピークも測定される。また、比較用ケーブル40aの受信強度は、アンテナ方向が垂直である場合、-70dBmを超えるピークや-80dBmを超えるピークを含む。
図15の中段に示すように、比較用ケーブル40bの受信強度は、アンテナ方向が水平である場合、-80dBmを超える複数のピークを含むが、全体として比較用ケーブル40aよりも受信強度が低い。またアンテナ方向が垂直である場合、比較用ケーブル40bの受信強度は、概ね-90dBmとなる。
図16の上段に示すように、アンテナ方向が水平である場合、比較用ケーブル40aの受信強度は、測定範囲全体に-80dBmを超える複数のピークを含み、低周波数側では-70dBmを超えるピークも測定される。なお、比較用ケーブル40aの受信強度は、アンテナ方向が垂直である場合、-80dBm程度の複数のピークをもつ。
図16の中段に示すように、比較用ケーブル40bの受信強度は、アンテナ方向が水平である場合、比較用ケーブル40aと同様に-80dBmを超える複数のピークを含むが、比較用ケーブル40aの低周波数側に見られる-70dBmを超えるようなピークはない。また、比較用ケーブル40bの受信強度は、アンテナ方向が垂直である場合、測定範囲全体で概ね-80dBmとなり、比較用ケーブル40aよりも受信強度が大きい。
本技術は、以上説明した実施形態に限定されず、他の種々の実施形態を実現することができる。
図17は、磁性テープの他の構成例を示す模式図である。図17に示す磁性テープ20aでは、テープ基材21の片面に磁性層24が形成される。
図18は、磁性テープの他の構成例を示す模式図である。図18に示す磁性テープ20bでは、テープ基材21は、アルミ、銅、又は鉄のいずれかの金属からなる金属箔で構成された金属製のテープである。
磁性テープは、他の方法で横巻されてもよい。
例えば、磁性テープは、その側端面が接するように伝送部に横巻きされてもよい。すなわち、磁性テープが幅方向で重ならず、かつ、磁性テープの側端面の間に隙間ができないように螺旋状に巻かれてもよい。この場合、例えば磁性テープの側端面の間に、屈曲により隙間ができることも考えられるが、磁性樹脂層により磁性テープを被覆することで、側端面の間で磁束が切れにくくなり、シールド性能の劣化を抑制することが可能である。
また例えば、磁性テープは、側端面の間に隙間ができるように伝送部に横巻されてもよい。この場合、磁性テープの使用量が少なくなりケーブルの材料コストを下げることが可能である。なお、側端面の間の隙間は磁性樹脂層で充填されるため、磁束を切れにくくすることが可能である。
例えば、磁性テープは、その側端面が幅方向に重なるように伝送部に縦巻きされてもよい。これにより、伝送部を磁性テープで完全に覆うことが可能である。
また例えば、磁性テープは、その側端面が接するように、かつ、伝送部を覆うように縦巻きされてもよい。すなわち、磁性テープが幅方向で重ならず、かつ、磁性テープの側端面の間に隙間ができないように、伝送部を包むように巻かれてもよい。この場合でも、磁性樹脂層により磁性テープを被覆することで、ケーブルの屈曲により側端面の間にできる隙間等において磁束が切れにくくなり、シールド性能の劣化を抑制可能である。
また例えば、磁性テープは、側端面の間に隙間ができるように伝送部に縦巻されてもよい。この場合でも、側端面の間の隙間は磁性樹脂層で充填されるため、磁束を切れにくくすることが可能である。
この他、中間層の種類は限定されない。また、中間層の厚みは、例えば磁性樹脂層が磁性テープの隙間において磁束をつなげる機能を発揮できるような厚みに設定される。これにより、ケーブルのシールド性能を向上することが可能である。
また、上記の実施例においては、磁性テープは、銅線網シールド54、銅線網シールド65や編組線72、編組線83のようなシールド層に巻かれているが、それぞれのケーブルに、直接または、充填材や絶縁体で、断面を円形にしたものに磁性テープを巻くことも可能である。
