 | | RF transmission lines come in several types such as open wire, twinlead, coaxial, waveguide etc. This paper will only address the coaxial type since that is the most commonly used type in the communications field. |
 | | The disadvantages of coax are that it has insertion loss, power limitations and increases system expenditures, Generally speaking, the greater the flexibility and the smaller the diameter of the coax, the higher the insertion loss. |
 | | Finally, when a large diameter low loss coax is used as the main feedline, it is often difficult to connect the coax directly to the antenna. |
