Period
This microwave tuning cavity presumably used c.1946-1961.
Canada
Used on the 10.7 cm radio telescope system developed by Art Covington and built by Reed, NRC for use at the Goth Hill Observatory, Gloucester, ON.
Function
A microwave cavity is a closed metal structure that confines electromagnetic fields in the microwave region of the spectrum. Such cavities act as resonant circuits with extremely low loss at their frequency of operation.
Technical
This component was connected to the radio telescope system (860015) via coaxial cable, as were the crystal radar mixer (690581) and the solar noise calibrator (690583).
