16. The numbers after MVNA 8-350 refer to the precise configuration of the MVNA. In this case it is the configuration with a single source and a single detector, and with a dual channel receiver, allowing vector detection of two microwave frequencies at the same time, or the vector detection of a signal and its derivative versus magnetic field.

20. The warm bore diameter of these magnets is 32 mm. For measurements at pumped liquid helium temperatures, space is restricted to a 19 mm diam bore.

22. -1, respectively.
23. SS waveguide is manufactured with a 0.51 mm wall, as opposed to 1.02 mm for Cu and Ag.
24. This is due to the high electrical resistivity of SS compared to Ag and Cu. The electrical resistivities at 300 K for SS, electrolytic Cu and Ag are 72, 1.67, and 1.59 mΩ cm, respectively.
25. The reason we use both Cu and Ag in the probe simply has to do with availability at the time of construction. Thus, at the lower end of the probe, one of the guides is Cu and the other is Ag.

31. More precisely, 1 m of cable compensates for 1.18 m in air (vacuum). However, in waveguides close to cutoff, this conversion factor may not be reliable.
32. Although our goal is to be able to measure at many different frequencies with a single cavity, different cavities are needed for different experiments, e.g., a long cavity will provide many closely spaced modes within a narrow frequency range, whereas a short cavity would spread these modes out over a broad frequency range.
