A theoretical and experimental investigation is made towards realizing low-loss millimeter waveguides and cavities at 35 and 90 GHz, considering their utilization in a weak-noise receiver for radio astronomy. Attention is given to waveguide attenuation, especially to losses by the Joule effect in the walls. The resistance of the copper surface is calculated, taking into account the anomalous skin effect using results of Dingle theory. Single-crystal copper cavities were studied experimentally at 35 and 90 GHz. Calculations of the surface resistance of the copper as a function of temperature shows that the conduction is governed by the classical skin effect at elevated temperatures, but that at low temperatures, the resistance tends toward a limiting value due to the anomalous skin effect.
