Radio observation in hydrogen line (1420MHz)

Why a C-band scalar ring cannot be used for 1420MHz Hydrogen line radio work

Admin July 24, 2025 No Comments

Using a conical C-band ring on a 1420 MHz (L-band) cantenna is generally not advisable because of the large frequency mismatch, but let’s break it down in detail: 📡 Key Concepts…
