Abstract
Abstract In order to suppress cross-talk between channels using adjoining time slots in a time-division-multiplex (TDM) communication system, the message signals are carried by a transmission line with two conductors, of a maximum effective thickness on the order of magnitude of the penetration depth δ of the current, separated by a layer of a substantially nonpolarizable dielectric material such as polyethylene or Teflon. The conductors may be parallel strips or coaxial; in the latter case, either or both could be a solid foil of the specified thickness or could be composed of one or more litz wires whose strands have that thickness.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A transmission line for a time-division-multiplex communication system, comprising a plurality of parallel conductor strips, a solid insulating layer of substantially nonpolarizable dielectric material interposed between said strips, and a dielectric outer layer extending along one of said strips on the side opposite said interposed insulating layer, the maximum thickness of said strips being substantially equal to the magnitude of the penetration depth of an alternating current at a frequency of one KHz, said strips and said layers being concentrically curved about a common axis, said layers forming a pair of radially outwardly extending parallel fins, said strips being provided with a pair of radially extending parallel tongues on opposite sides of one of said fins.
