[MLB-WIRELESS] Cheap Waveguide antenna for Access Points

[Mike Nye]

Hi Guys,

I designed the slotted waveguide antenna on www.e3.com.au.

Slotted waveguide antennas require precision machining, as the smallest 
error will have a huge effect on antenna performance. The waveguides I sell 
are CNC machined to the required accuracy.

If you can make one from a bit of downpipe, go for it, and let me know how 
it turns out.

Kind regards,

Mike Nye
