18.1 Shorten the "mass"-side of the links down to the topplate "A".
18.1.1 Solder the notch-L to the "hot" side of the links, a few millimeters above the upper end of the central conductor. Use (silvered) wire of 2.5mm dia for the notch-L.
18.1.1.1 Shorten the ends of Ln to the link.
18.1.1.2 Shorten the end of the links to Ln.
18.1.2 Connect a prefabricated 1/4 wave (notch-frequency) teflon cable on the out-going side of the cavity to Ln and mass (not to the link), like shown in "ln.gif".
18.1.2.1 For the adjustment-procedure only, this cable must temporarely be lenghtened with an extra 1/4 wavelength 50 ohms coax with plug, to be able to connect it to the measuring-instruments.
18.1.3 Solder on the input-link a 1/2 wave 50 ohms test-cable. Use a short mass-connection. Solder the inner conductor exactly on the crosspoint of the link and Ln, to the LINK, not to Ln (see "ln.gif"). Do use little solder.
18.1.3.1 This way, you lateron can solder the definitive teflon cable (which is coming from the cavity on the "Rx"-side), to exactly the same spot. This is very important, in order to keep the then allready adjusted shift unchanged, when connecting the cavities together. Pay attention to this point! Even the size of the solderpoints here can have markeble influence on the shift.
