Coaxial transmission lines and methods of providing thereof are disclosed. The coaxial transmission lines include an inner conductor extending between first and second ends along a longitudinal axis, 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. The second end of the inner conductor is fixed to an electromagnetic load. The methods involve providing an inner conductor having a longitudinal axis and extending from a first end to a second end; fixing the second end of the inner conductor to an electromagnetic load; providing an outer conductor that surrounds the inner conductor; coupling at least one linear actuator to the inner conductor at the first end; and actuating the at least one linear actuator to apply a tension force to the inner conductor.
