There always seems to be one in every group. I'm aware of coaxial velocity and how to calculate that. However, that in itself does not provide the answer to the question. Once one determines the velocity factor for the coax being used, he can calculate different electrical wavelengths of the

Jim, There is no single, universal formula for calculating the cable length, simply because the cables are only part of the circuit. The lengths of the loops or probes that are inside the cavities must be included, and it does make a difference whether loops or probes are used. Also, many

Are these Band pass, Band Reject? or Pass only? Changing the cables will help alot since you are 20 MHz off. You would have an easier time if your cans were in the 150-155 MHz range. But a good way to be sure is to just test one cavity by its self and see if you can make spec at your
