Microwave Cavity• In general, a cavity resonator is a metallic enclosure that confines the
electromagnetic energy. The stored electric and magnetic energies inside the cavity determine its equivalent inductance and capacitance.• The energy dissipated by the finite conductivity of the cavity walls
determines its equivalent resistance. • In practice,
1. The rectangular-cavity resonator, 2. Circular-cavity resonator, 3. And reentrant-cavity resonator
Are commonly used in many microwave applications.

• Theoretically a given resonator has an infinite number of resonant modes, and each mode corresponds to a definite resonant frequency.• The mode having the lowest resonant frequency is known as the
dominant mode.

Rectangular cavity
• A microwave cavity acts similarly to a resonant circuit with extremely low loss at its frequency of operation, resulting in quality factors (Q factors) up to the order of 106, compared to 102 for circuits made with separate inductors and capacitors at the same frequency.

• The wave equations in the rectangular resonator should satisfy the boundary condition of the zero tangential E at four of the walls.• These functions can be found as

The maximum amplitude of the standing wave occurs when the frequency of the impressed signal is equal to the resonant frequency.

Cylindrical cavity• A circular-cavity resonator is a circular waveguide with two ends closed by a
metal wall.• The field solutions of a cylindrical cavity of length L and radius R follow from the
solutions of a cylindrical waveguide with additional electric boundary conditions at the position of the enclosing plates.

The wave function in the circular resonator should satisfy Maxwell's equations, subject to the same boundary conditions described for a rectangular-cavity resonator.
• Substitution of yields the resonant frequencies for TE and TM modes, respectively, as
• It is interesting to note that the mode is dominant where 2a > d, and that the mode is dominant when .

Microwave resonant cavities can be represented and thought of as simple LC circuits.For a microwave cavity, the stored electric energy is equal to the stored magnetic energy at resonance as is the case for a resonant LC circuit

Q Factor of a Cavity Resonator• The quality factor Q is a measure of the frequency selectivity of a
resonant or antiresonant circuit, and it is defined as
• At resonant frequency, the electric and magnetic energies are equal and in time quadrature. The total energy stored in the resonator is obtained by integrating the energy density over the volume of the resonator:
• Where E and H are the peak values of the field intensities.

Cont’d• The average power loss in the resonator can be evaluated by
integrating the power density as given
• So
• Since the peak value of the magnetic intensity is related to its tangential and normal components by

Cont’d• where is the peak value of the normal magnetic intensity, the value of
at the resonator walls is approximately twice the value of averaged over the volume.• So the Q of a cavity resonator
• An unloaded resonator can be represented by either a series or a parallel resonant circuit. The resonant frequency and the unloaded of a cavity resonator are

inductance to a generator having internal impedance , then the coupling circuit and its equivalent are as shown

• There are three types of coupling coefficients:1. Critical coupling:
If the resonator is matched to the generator, then

2. Overcoupling: If K > 1
• The cavity terminals are at a voltage maximum in the input line at resonance. The normalized impedance at the voltage maximum is the standing-wave ratio . That is
The loaded is given by
3. Undercoupling: If K < 1The cavity terminals are at a voltage minimum and the input terminal impedance is equal to the reciprocal of the standing-wave ratio. That is
The loaded is given by
