A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12014841B2) discloses an apparatus and method for a coaxial transmission line, featuring a cylinder-shaped dielectric member with a first conductive member mounted around its outer surface. The apparatus includes a plurality of contact members spaced around the first perimeter, ensuring electrical contact with the inner surface of the outer conductor of the coaxial transmission line. This design allows for clearance between the first conductive member and the outer conductor, with the dielectric member and first conductive member extending only partially along the length of the outer conductor. The method involves positioning the apparatus in the annulus defined by the inner and outer conductors, maintaining concentricity between the perimeters, and ensuring proper electrical contact.

Furthermore, the patent details a coaxial transmission line configuration comprising an inner conductor section, a dielectric member, a first conductive member, and a plurality of contact members. The outer conductor section, with a larger perimeter than the first conductive member, allows for the insertion of the first conductive member through its bore, establishing electrical contact between the contact members and the inner surface of the outer conductor. This design provides clearance and concentricity between the components, with the dielectric member and first conductive member extending only partially along the length of the outer conductor. The coaxial transmission line design also includes options for conductive contact members, equally spaced positioning for concentricity, and additional features like spring members and brushes for enhanced functionality.
