  • Abstract
    A semi-tutorial review of the history, development and application of waveguide below-cutoff attenuation standards is presented. A brief summary of the EM theory is followed by descriptions of the various designs implemented over a span of 60 years. Designs range from simplistic to elaborate electro-mechanical creations stretching the toolmaker´s art yet ultimately dependent upon the primary standard of length.
