Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In accordance with certain embodiments of the present disclosure, a cable fault detection device is described. The device includes a conformal monopole structure and a ground plane structure. The ground plane structure is configured to be generally parallel to the cable longitudinal axis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A cable fault detection device comprising: a monopole structure that is generally cylindrical, the monopole structure defining a slit that is parallel to an axis of the generally cylindrical monopole structure, the monopole structure having a first end and a second end, the slit passing from the first end to the second end, the slit being configured to allow the monopole structure to fit circumferentially around a cable having a longitudinal axis such that the…
