Introduction

Cavity Resonators - Dr. Ray Kwok

LC Resonator (Lenzs Law)

Cavity Resonators - Dr. Ray Kwok

Helical Resonator
L C

1 o = LC
Higher frequency smaller L or C

smaller C smaller area

Just the coil itself resonate (Helical Resonator) Internal capacitance between turns Cant use coil in very high frequency

L C
R

real coil equivalent

Cavity Resonators - Dr. Ray Kwok

Cavity Resonator
L C

1 o = LC

smaller L less turns

even higher f parallel L

both E & B resonate inside?

Cavity Resonators - Dr. Ray Kwok

High frequency capacitor


dc no B ac E & B coexist

cavity except tangential E = 0 on the walls, more field strength at center .etc

Cavity Resonators - Dr. Ray Kwok

Coupling in and out of cavity


Wire / connector Couple E-field Capacitive coupling Line up with concentrated E-field to induced V

Wire / loop Couple H-field Inductive coupling Loop thru H-field to induced current

f many resonants

Cavity Resonators - Dr. Ray Kwok

Different modes

some require different coupling mechanisms
