Abstract:
1. A standing wave barrier adapted for interaction with a radio frequency cable having a cable axis, said standing wave barrier comprising: a metallic base web having a first web end and a second web end, said metallic base web, between said first web end and said second web end, proceeding substantially parallel to said cable axis; a capacitance connecting said first and second webs to each other in terms of radio frequency, said base web and said capacitance together forming a radio frequency resonant oscillator circuit; first and second half-shells in which said base web and said capacitance are situated, said half-shells being connectable to each other and, when connected to each other, adapted to clamp said radio frequency cable therebetween; said capacitance comprising an adjustable capacitor element having a first capacitor surface and a second capacitor surface, said first capacitor surface being electrically conductively connected to said first web end and said second capacitor surface being electrically conductive connected to said second wet end; a plurality of first counter-surfaces, and a plurality of second counter-surfaces disposed at an exterior of at least one of said half-shells; and an electrically conductive connection between at least one of said first counter surfaces and at least one of said second counter surfaces that adjusts a capacitance of said adjustable capacitor element.
