Building a 10 GHz Pipe Cap Filter

This is an overview on building a band pass filter for the 10 GHz amateur band using copper plumbing end caps.

Ideal when using a signal generator at lower frequencies, where you want to filter the fundamental and undesired harmonics.

15mm end cap
double-sided PCB offcut
M4 bolt & screws
085 semi rigid coax
SMA connectors to suit

Cheap and easy to build!
