1. A coaxial transmission line comprising:
an inner conductor having a longitudinal axis and extending from a first end to a second end, the second end of the inner conductor being fixed to an electromagnetic load;
an outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor along the longitudinal axis; and
at least one linear actuator coupled to the inner conductor at the first end for applying a tension force to the inner conductor,
wherein the at least one linear actuator comprises a plurality of linear actuators positioned circumferentially around the longitudinal axis of the inner conductor at the first end.
