Construction of a 4 GHz resonant cavity operating in TE011 mode: Simulation and Experiments

2015
Student Projects

Abstract

During this project we studied cavities as an alternative method to stripline resonators, to create an oscillating magnetic field. We were able to simulate different cavity designs and reproduce theoretical results as a numerical simulation and experimentally. Thus getting familiar with cavities and studying how their design influences the TE011 mode in which we lay our interest. It was shown that with cavities one could reach a higher quality factor than with stripline resonators. We also found out that in order to make a cavity small enough to be useful it is indispensable to use dielectric materials and studied the behavior of a few possible cavity designs.

Cavity magnetron

The cavity magnetron is a high-power vacuum tube used in early radar systems and currently in microwave ovens and in linear particle accelerators. A cavity magnetron generates microwaves using the interaction of a stream of electrons with a magnetic field, while moving past a series of cavity resonators, which are small, open cavities in a metal block. Electrons pass by the cavities and cause microwaves to oscillate within, similar to the functioning of a whistle producing a tone when excited by an air stream blown past its opening.

Waveguide filter

A waveguide filter is an electronic filter constructed with waveguide technology. Waveguides are hollow metal conduits inside which an electromagnetic wave may be transmitted. Filters are devices used to allow signals at some frequencies to pass (the passband), while others are rejected (the stopband). Filters are a basic component of electronic engineering designs and have numerous applications. These include selection of signals and limitation of noise.

Resonator

A resonator is a device or system that exhibits resonance or resonant behavior. That is, it naturally oscillates with greater amplitude at some frequencies, called resonant frequencies, than at other frequencies. The oscillations in a resonator can be either electromagnetic or mechanical (including acoustic). Resonators are used to either generate waves of specific frequencies or to select specific frequencies from a signal. Musical instruments use acoustic resonators that produce sound waves of specific tones.
