A MATCHED TRIAXIAL DEVICE FOR CABLE SHIELDING MEASUREMENTS

Abstract—A matched triaxial device is designed and constructed to measure the transfer impedance of braided coaxial cables at UHF frequencies. Full design principles of the device have been theoretically developed and the details were given in the paper. The device is particularly suited for accurate measurements of transfer impedances at higher radio frequencies up to 3.8 GHz, for which no comparable technique exists. The performance of the device is evaluated by comparing the results against those obtained from low frequency IEC’s triple coaxial apparatus and those obtained by using well know
