Improvement in cavity resonance after simplifying the feed antenna:
In the previous measurements I soldered a stub to the feed connector to reach lambda/4.
In this configuration, this stub is missing. The feed pin is shorter than lambda/4 and its angle is the angle of the cone wall.
There are only two peaks now, the first was also visible before, the second has a more narrow bandwidth and higher amplitude.
Probably these peaks represent two different cavity excitement modes in this frequency range.
We will track both of them in the next test session.

what shape is your stub? is it sferical or more the shape of a rough diamond ?
Dispersion can be the key to more cavity exitement.
Are you sure? yes | no
