Short answer: Yes — but with caveats. A square/coax-to-waveguide adapter can act as a waveguide feed/aperture for a 1.5 m dish at the hydrogen line, provided its internal dimensions support…
It happens because “WR-650” means two completely different things depending on context, and most search engines don’t know which one you want. 1. The actual WR-650 (large waveguide) is for…
If you want a rectangular waveguide that works well around 1.4 GHz, a common standard choice is WR650. ✅ Why WR650 at ~1.4 GHz ⚠️ What you lose by going too small…
Here’s a ready-to-use block diagram plus a practical minimal parts list and quick build/test checklist so you can turn your WR-650 waveguide-to-coax adapter into a full waveguide feed for 1420…
Good questions. First, to be clear — by “convert … to a full waveguide” I assume you mean: you have a (a waveguide‑to‑coax adapter) and you want to use it…
From Marcus D. Leech: Probe placement with regards to the distance from the back-short, probe length, and positioning of the waveguide at the proper dish<>feed spacing. That is, if you…
Andrew Sutkowski checked his feed and found monopole probe made of 1/8 inch copper tube far better at picking up 1420 MHz hydrogen signal than bare copper wire (information from…
Short answer: No—the dish doesn’t change the waveguide dimensions of the cantenna.The can’s internal diameter and the probe/back-short geometry are set by your operating frequency and waveguide mode, not by…
