LED Blinking Instructions
1. Mill substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) PCB out of RT/duroid 6002 (siw_gerbs.zip)
2. Attach SMA connectors and solder copper tape between the top and bottom ground plane along the waveguide portion.
3. Mill out power detector board, then populate per KiCad schematic (blinky_powerdetector_kicad.zip).
4. Attach power detector board to a signal generator via the SIW waveguide.
5. Configure signal generator to sweep across waveguide cutoff frequency and set power to 10 dBm
6. Record video and enter project into MacroFab + Mouser LED blinking contest.
