[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1104534, member: 178786"] I have attached below a few pictures from a scan of 3.0W in C-Band. The test was done using a non polo pipe with a Titanium LNB shoved in the end of it. The non polo pipe was cloned from the dimensions of an original ADL polo pipe and the scalar used for the test was an original ADL scalar. It was a bit of a miserable result, only one viewable frequency locked from the East Hemi beam. There are also a few data transponders that lock. The position of the scalar on the non polo pipe feed was important for maximum signal level. Among the pictures attached below there is a small table that presents the signal level variation for various scalar positions along the feed barrel. To complete the test I need to adjust the feed throat aperture 5mm closer to the dish and 5mm further away from the dish and repeat the signal level measurements for various scalar positions. Possibly something for another day. . [ATTACH]134324[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]134325[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]134326[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]134327[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]134328[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]134329[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
