sounds like you just need a slab of plastic.

Teflon is a good, low loss dielectric for RF/microwave.

Emerson cumming makes a loaded polystyrene if you want to be fussy.

thanks for reply my ask. i visit the McMaster site for polyethylene, but i couldn't find relative permitivity (er=?) of material.
is there er=10.2 ?
and what is reason for select slab plastic? is there "er" for this?
i embeded bar metal (like stub short circuit) in coxial cable, perpendicular on inner conductor. whether could embeded bar in this substrate?
