Abstract

The present disclosure provides an intermittent tape ( 100 ) disposed of around a pair of conductors. The intermittent tape ( 100 ) has a top dielectric layer ( 102 ), a bottom dielectric layer ( 106 ) and a conductive layer ( 104 ). The conductive layer ( 104 ) is sandwiched between the top dielectric layer ( 102 ) and the bottom dielectric layer ( 106 ). The conductive layer ( 104 ) includes conductive segments ( 108 ) and non-conductive segments ( 110 ). The non-conductive segments ( 110 ) are defined by an absence of the conductive segments ( 108 ). The conductive segments ( 108 ) and the non-conductive segments ( 110 ) are arranged alternatingly. A width of the non-conductive segments ( 110 ) between the conductive segments ( 108 ) is constant.

First claim

We claim:

1. An intermittent tape ( 100 ) disposed of around a pair of conductors,
wherein the intermittent tape ( 100 ) has
a top dielectric layer ( 102 );
a bottom dielectric layer ( 106 );
a conductive layer ( 104 ) sandwiched between the top dielectric layer ( 102 ) and the bottom dielectric layer ( 106 ), wherein the conductive layer ( 104 ) comprises conductive segments ( 108 ) and non-conductive segments ( 110 ), wherein the conductive segments ( 108 ) and the non-conductive segments ( 110 ) are arranged alternatingly, wherein a first conductive segment of the conductive segments ( 108 ) is different from a second conductive segment of the conductive segments ( 108 ), wherein a width of the non-conductive segments ( 110 ) between the conductive segments ( 108 ) is constant, wherein a conductive ratio is less than 0.8, wherein the conductive ratio is defined as a ratio of an area of the conductive segments ( 108 ) to an area of the top dielectric layer ( 102 ) wherein the conductive segments ( 108 ) are in a combination of triangle and trapezoid arranged alternatively.

2. An intermittent tape ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the non-conductive segments ( 110 ) to the conductive segments ( 108 ) is less than or equal to 1.5.

3. An intermittent tape ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductive segments ( 108 ) are inverted polygons and arranged such that one edge of the inverted polygons is parallel to a width of the intermittent tape ( 100 ).

4. An intermittent tape ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the inverted polygons comprise triangle, trapezoid and rectangle.

5. An intermittent tape ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the conductive segments ( 108 ) has exactly one curved edge and an opposite straight edge parallel to a width of the intermittent tape ( 100 ).

6. An intermittent tape ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the exactly one curved edge of one of the conductive segments ( 108 ) is followed by a mating curved edge of an adjacent one of the conductive segments, and the opposite straight edge of the one conductive segment is followed by a mating straight edge of another adjacent one of the conductive segments.
