  1. The indicated dimension (dim.) specifies the outer diameter of the coaxial cables and the EIA type of the rectangular waveguides. The conductor and dielectric materials are specified as well as the length of the resonant section employed for the measurements. The temperature T measured at the waveguide is indicated. The average photon number on resonance is shown for the investigated frequency (ν) range.
