Abstract
A arrangement is described for transmitting, radiating and receiving high-frequency signals. The arrangement is comprised of a system connected to a transmitting and receiving device (3) which includes at least one high-frequency element (1) capable of guiding electromagnetic waves and a first signal cable (5) extending parallel thereto. To improve the service reliability of the arrangement, a second signal cable (6) which is also connected to the transmitting and receiving device (3), is arranged parallel to the high-frequency element (1) and maintains a significant spatial separation to the first signal cable (5). The two signal cables (5, 6) are alternatingly connected at coupling points (K1-Kn) to the high-frequency element (1) in such a way that the one signal cable (6) is connected to all even numbered coupling points (K2-K2n) and the other signal cable (5) is connected to all odd numbered coupling points (K1-K2n±1), wherein the coupling points are numbered successively with integer numbers, starting at the transmitting and receiving device (3) . A malfunction of one of the signal cables (5, 6) does consequently not impair the operation of the arrangement.
