Abstract
A flexible coaxial cable includes an inner conductor, and a dielectric layer generally surrounding the inner conductor. A tape outer conductor generally surrounds the dielectric layer, and does not underlie another electrically conductive layer such as a braided wire layer. The tape outer conductor may include a surface defining a plurality of indentations for minimizing damage to the tape outer conductor resulting from repeated flexing of the cable, and may define a plurality of apertures to enable generation of radiating waves during signal excitation of the cable.
