SEMI-OPEN RESONATOR ASSEMBLY IN THE FORM OF A REENTRANT CAVITY AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING A SAMPLE USING THE RESONATOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

The arrangement (R) has a conductive, circle-cylindrical shaped half-open external metal housing (11), and a conductive bar (16) arranged in an interior of the housing. The bar includes a metallic stamp (15) provided at an end toward a housing bottom (14) and forms a capacitor with dielectric (18) and the housing bottom. The bar is short circuited with the housing at another end, so that the bar and housing form an inductor capacitor resonant circuit. The conductive bar is passed through a circle-cylindrical shaped half-open dual mode dielectric resonator (12) in the interior of the housing. An independent claim is also included for a method for analyzing a sample with a resonator arrangement.
