How about 6 x 7.5 inch can for hydrogen line? How does that compare with a can 160mm diameter x 165 mm height?
How about 6 x 7.5 inch can for hydrogen line? Short answer: you can use a 6″ × 7.5″ can-sized aperture, but it’s very small for the 1420.40575 MHz hydrogen…
Is 145mm or 165mm better diameter for hydrogen line cantenna? Is a can that is 160mm diameter x 165 mm height a good choice for this?
Short answer: 165 mm is the better choice than 145mm can — it gives a larger aperture (higher gain / narrower beam) while still remaining single-mode for 1420.4 MHz. Below…
