DIELECTRIC RESONATORS IN A TE(102) X-BAND RECTANGULAR CAVITY

A method for simply coupling a dielectric resonator (DR) to a standard TE(102) rectangular cavity is described. The DR/TE(102) resonator is easily realized with minor changes to existing rectangular cavities. I n comparison with other resonant structures based on dielectric resona tors. coupling of the microwave power to the dielectric is much easier . Its use in electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy results in a high filling factor and a high value of the H-1 field inside the reso nator. It can be particularly useful for pulsed application, where hig h filling factors are required. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics .
