Leaky Feeder cable
In comparison with a common HF line that was developed to transmit radio waves over long distances without losses, the leaky feeder cable constantly transmits radio waves to its environment. To the same degree, the cable can also receive radio waves. To this purpose, special slots have been made in the outer screen. In addition, the amplifier and other consumers are supplied with d.c. voltage.
Various leaky feeder cable models are shown, whereby the special design of the outer screen can be recognised easily.
