Abstract
Abstract An improved stripline cable is provided wherein porous, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene having continuous openings therethrough is disposed between sets of substantially parallel electrical conductors and having a covering on both sides thereof holding the conductors in place. The covering is preferably of a fluororesin. Each set of conductors can be a signal conductor having a smaller cross-sectional area, i.e. small width or diameter, and a ground conductor having a larger cross-sectional area. The cable as aforesaid can also have an electromagnetic shielding material laminated to the outer sides of the covering.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
An improved stripline cable comprising a dielectric in tape form made of a porous, crystalline polymer having two parallel sides, said cable including said dielectric tape having a low dielectric constant approaching that of air and having at least one pair of electrical conductors, each said pair of conductors having one conductor located on one side of said tape, and the other conductor located on the opposite side of said tape and in substantially parallel relationship to said one conductor of the pair, said cable further having outer insulating layers made of a suitable non-porous plastic material placed over and affixing said conductors to said dielectric tape and to encapsulate the cable assembly, said tape having length, width and thickness dimensions, wherein the improvement comprises said dielectric tape having a plurality of continuous openings extending between the two parallel sides, said openings being orthogonal to said conductors in the thickness dimension through said tape, thereby resulting in a lower dielectric constant and a closer approach to that of air.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
169 words
An improved stripline cable comprising a dielectric in tape form made of a porous, crystalline polymer having two parallel sides, said cable including said dielectric tape having a low dielectric constant approaching that of air and having at least one pair of electrical conductors, each said pair of conductors having one conductor located on one side of said tape, and the other conductor located on the opposite side of said tape and in substantially parallel relationship to said one conductor of the pair, said cable further having outer insulating layers made of a suitable non-porous plastic material placed over and affixing said conductors to said dielectric tape and to encapsulate the cable assembly, said tape having length, width and thickness dimensions, wherein the improvement comprises said dielectric tape having a plurality of continuous openings extending between the two parallel sides, said openings being orthogonal to said conductors in the thickness dimension through said tape, thereby resulting in a lower dielectric constant and a closer approach to that of air.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The stripline cable according to claim 1 wherein said outer insulating layers are composed of a fluororesin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
The stripline cable according to claim 1 wherein each pair of conductors comprises said one conductor of the pair being a signal conductor which has a small cross-sectional area and the other conductor of the pair being a ground conductor which has a larger cross-sectional area than said signal conductor, the conductors of each type being arranged alternately, transversely across the width of said cable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The stripline cable according to claim 1 wherein said non-porous electrical insulating layer is provided on at least one side of said dielectric in tape form.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The stripline cable according to claim 1 wherein an electromagnetic shield is provided over the outer insulating layers.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The stripline cable according to claim 1 wherein said dielectric in tape form is a porous film of polytetrafluroethylene resin.
