Many plastics will work. You want something transparent to microwaves at around 2.4ghz (I think that's the tmote freq). Luckily, in this case, Mwave ovens run around that frequency, so if you put your material in the oven for a few seconds and it DOES NOT heat up then it won't absorb the radio signal.
I know nylon is suspect at higher freqs but I haven't tried PVC pipe... This works for 802.11 enclosures too... MS Colin Couper wrote:
Hi I am using tmotes and i need some kind of casing, plastic or other wise, as they need to be put in a persons pocket and some externat ports need to be mounted on it aswell. Because the board has an integrated aerial, I was wondering if anyone could reccommend a suitable enclosure/housing for tmotes as I don;t particularly want to use an external aerial, principally because I can't find one small enough.
