The “rules of thumb”: c/o Ed Harfmann: Foil coating waveguide (if making waveguide with aluminium foil) wrinkled – Is it more than 1/20th of a wavelength? 21 cm/20 = 1.05…
Following information is from Alex Pettit:
The skin depth (δ) of RF in copper at 1420 MHz can be calculated using the formula: δ = √(2/(ωμσ)) Where: At f = 1420 MHz (the hydrogen line frequency):…

I have just taken delivery of 5m run of Paradpr X-400. This is meant to be a cheaper alternative to LMR-400 cable, but with similar specifications. My initial impression is…
Since you’re building a tuneable waveguide probe (I’m assuming 1420 MHz given your past adventures…), here’s a clean, mechanically stable way to do it without it turning into a wobbly…
Here are the standard brass tube sizes that will fit snugly either inside or outside 1/8-inch brass tubing: 📏 Basic Dimensions of 1/8″ Brass Tube So you want tubing whose…
