Abstract

The cavity resonator is one of the widely used components in the microwave applications. The unloaded Q, the resonant frequency, and the coupling factor are basic parameters of a cavity. A simple unloaded Q factor measurement procedure of a cavity is proposed in a lossy coupling. The equivalent circuit of a cavity with coupling loss at near the resonant frequency is presented. The coupling loss resistance was found by the measurement of a cavity impedance. The cavity impedance compensated coupling loss was redrawn on the Smith Chart. The loaded Q and coupling factor were obtained based on the compensated impedance locus and then the unloaded Q factor was calculated. To verify the proposed procedure, the cavity with lossless coupling was measured. The two measurement results in the lossy and lossless coupling agree well. The results confirm the proposed procedure is valid.

공동공진기는 마이크로파 응용에서 많이 사용되는 부품 중의 하나이다. 무부하 Q, 공진주파수, 그리고 결합계수는 공진기 기본 파라미터이다. 손실결합이 있는 공동공진기의 무부하 Q를 측정하는 간편한 절차를 제안하였다. 공진주파수 근처 주파수 대역에서 결합손실을 포함한 등가회로를 보였으며, 결합손실은 공진기의 임피던스를 측정하여 구했다. 결합손실을 보상한 공진기의 임피던스를 스미스차트에 다시 그렸다. 보상한 임피던스 궤적에서 부하 Q와 결합계수를 구하여 무부하 Q를 계산하였다. 제안한 절차를 검증하기 위하여 결합 손실이 없는 공진기를 측정하였다. 결합 손실이 있는 경우와 손실이 없는 경우의 측정결과는 잘 일치 하였다. 측정된 결과는 제안한 절차가 유용함을 확인하였다.
