Generalized Multilayer Anisotropic Dielectric Resonators

Page 60.

Abstract:

Modeling of the generalized multilayer cylindrical anisotropic dielectric loaded resonator by a rigorous mode-matching method is presented in this paper. Eigenmodes of the multilayer two parallel-plate waveguides are obtained. By cascading the radial discontinuities of the structure, resonant frequency, field distribution, unloaded Q, and the frequency sensitivity of the resonator are obtained. The method can be used to analyze and design resonators and filters of multilayer structure. The computed results are compared with the results in and with experimental data, and is shown to be in good agreement.
