Radio frequency coaxial transmission line contact retaining clip

A two component connection system consisting of a female connector and a male connector. The female connector consists of three components joined together with a bolt. First is a cup that has the same inner and outer diameters as the tubing that forms the rest of the inner conductor. Second is a bushing stepped diametrically in three places. The first step accepts a standard anchor insulator. The second step is the same diameter as the outside of the inner conductor tubing. The third step has a diameter that allows it to fit snugly inside of the inner conductor tubing. The male connector consists of a cylinder with a bushing on one end that allows it to be assembled to inner conductor tubing and a diameter on the other end with a tandem pair of glands for watchband style springs that fits inside of the female connector cup. The cup of the female connector is fixed in position relative to the outer conductor by the captured anchor insulator.

Radio frequency coaxial transmission line inner conductor connection

A broadcast antenna that generates circularly polarized waves and comprises a pair of conducting arms having portions forming a normal mode helix with one arm interrupted by an insulator to permit the connection of an internal feed line.
