A coaxial cable includes a center conductor layer; an insulator layer covering a periphery of the center conductor layer; an outer conductor layer covering a periphery of the insulator layer; a separator layer covering a periphery of the outer conductor layer; a radio wave absorbing resin layer covering a periphery of the separator layer; and an outer sheath covering a periphery of the radio wave absorbing resin layer. The radio wave absorbing resin layer is formed of a material in which a magnetic body is mixed into a resin, and the separator layer is formed by winding a tape-shaped member around the periphery of the outer conductor layer so as to overlap without a gap.

A radiofrequency filter utilizing a common mode choke both as a traditional common mode choke as well as the inductance in a low pass filter. Filter topology as well as component selection is optimized for wide band operation. Common mode chokes allow differential currents to pass with little attenuation while common mode currents are effectively presented with an inductance in the common current path. This inductance is used in a low pass filter configuration to present an even higher attenuation to common mode currents. The use of multiple chokes and/or differing core materials contributes to wider band operation without pronounced resonances. The capacitance used in the low pass filter is connected in a way as to reduce its effect on the data signals while still being effective in filtering.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, a system having an absorber and a coupling device. The absorber includes absorbent material that absorbs radiation. The coupling device is positioned in and surrounded by the absorber. The coupling device facilitates transmitting or receiving of an electromagnetic wave along a transmission medium, where the electromagnetic wave propagates along the transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path. Other embodiments are disclosed.

The technology described herein is directed towards microwave attenuators, and more particularly to a cryogenic microwave attenuator device for quantum technologies. In some embodiments, a device can comprise a cryogenic microwave attenuator device. The cryogenic microwave attenuator device can comprise: a housing component and a microwave attenuator chip, wherein the housing component can have thermal conductivity of about at least 0.1 Watts per meter-Kelvin at 1 degree Kelvin. The cryogenic microwave attenuator device can also comprise a microwave connector comprising a signal conductor that is direct wire coupled to the microwave attenuator chip.

A high frequency filter A1 has frequency characteristics such that the amount of attenuation for an input electrical signal is smaller in a first frequency band f1 than in a second frequency band f2. The high frequency filter A1 is provided with a dielectric elastomer transducer 1 that includes a dielectric elastomer layer 13 and a pair of electrode layers 14 sandwiching the dielectric elastomer layer 13. The frequency characteristics are variable by the dielectric elastomer transducer 1. This configuration provides a high frequency filter having frequency characteristics that are variable and suitable for a lightweight and compact configuration.
