Aid for
a quick measurement of waveguides
It is clear to me that the real microwave experts can't be curious about
this, but I noticed at a meeting in the Zielence interest in the In3hog's
business cards with a subway dimensions that are quite useful when browsing
various flea markets where various retailers offer microwave components
without knowing , What is it about. The business card has a size of 55x88mm
and after clicking it appears in full size. Interestingly, I also mention
tables with the dimensions of known waveguides, including critical
frequencies. It should also be said that the
waveguides are precisely limited in particular the lower limit, while the
upwards can also be used by higher frequencies, such as the relay for the
WR28 for the 47 GHz band, but there is no longer a good SWR to 100% rely on
and so such a relay must be measured first.
