    microwave paint

    thanks logbook. However, I cannot move the load due to the design. I can increase the load quite a bit. I saw in another forum you talked about HFSS and modeling a waveguide. Do you think that HFSS is capable of modeling a magnetron antenna output, surrounded by water in a vessel, then...

    microwave paint

    Biff44: No, no arcing has occurred. I have coated vessels this way before and used them, and the last one lasted nearly three years. However, I let this one run dry without any water in the vessel and the magnetron and the vessel did not turn out so good. This phenomenon that I am describing...

    microwave paint

    I tried coating a new vessel with the silver paint, and have put on three layers. I will try a fourth layer now. When I used the magnetron with it the readings from the microwave detector fluctuated. It started out low (less than .4 mw/cm^2), then it started building up, dropped, built up...

    microwave paint

    thank you again. that explains why we thought we had a "ground leak". We used a spectruum analyzer with a rf probe and found that the ground from the power plug was emitting a strong rf signal all the way back to the ground, but when we measured the continuity, it was what it was theoretically...

    microwave paint

    thanks for the replies...They are great. I do have a question about copper though. Everytime I see stats on copper paint for shielding it usually states it is good up to 1GHZ, not much beyond. However, I am working at 2.65 GHZ. Am I missing something? My first vessel I just wrapped with a...

    microwave paint

    I am trying to coat a glass vessel with a microwave paint that will contain the microwaves within the glass vessel. Can anyone tell me what thickness of paint I should use, as I assume the paint will be silver. I looked at specs for copper paint and it appears only to go to 1GHZ, and I need...
