The eigen value problem of a coaxial cavity and a modified pill box cavity is investigated using the mode matching technique. The coaxial cavity has a cylindrical cavity with beam ports and center conductor. The pill box cavity is the same as a coaxial cavity without center conductor. The electric field and magnetic field are formulated in propagation region and resonance region. The boundary and orthogonal conditions are applied to the electric and magnetic fields. We derived the eigen value equation by the proposed procedure in a coaxial cavity and a modified pill box cavity. The electromagnetic field of the real structure is disturbed by the coaxial wire. The effect of the coaxial wire in pill box cavity with beam ports increase the dominant resonant frequency. The coaxial line method of the coupling impedance is not adequate for a cylindrical cavity. The results of the mode matching technique and simulation agree well. The results confirm the proposed formulation is valid.

This paper is a study of the water sensor using a coaxial cavity resonator. This water sensor uses the resonant frequency variation of the coaxial cavity resonator when there is a water drop of the used coaxial cavity resonator. And we made resonant frequencies by controlling the input voltage of the oscillator which will be mainly resonated in the coaxial cavity resonator. First, we made the coaxial cavity resonator by simulating the resonator structure with the proposed size and we expect the resonant frequency from the simulation and then we decide the VCO from the result. Second, we made the water drop detecting sensor circuit and measured the water sensor. We decided the size of the resonator as inner conductor 5mm, outer conductor 14mm, the height of resonator 9.5mm, and the height of the glass 6mm from the simulated result. The simulated resonant frequencies are 3.09GHz and we made the VCO frequency ranges from 2.56GHz to 3.2GHz. The measured resonant frequency is 2.97GHz and the return loss is under -8. 4 dB at the center frequency. When the water is dropped on the glass of the resonator, the voltage has changed from 690mV to 145mV. It shows the proposed water sensor can detect the water by the resonant frequency variation of the resonator.

A coaxial band rejection filter is designed and fabricated for a beam interacting cavity. The proposed filter has a quarter wavelength choke for the dominant mode of the cavity. The equivalent circuit of the coaxial band rejection filter is presented and the ABCD parameter os each part is derived to obtain the ABCD parameter of the entire filter. The scattering matrix was obtained from the ABCD matrix and the was simulated by MATLAB using the obtained scattering matrix. The coaxial band rejection filter structure was simulated using HFSS, and the results confirmed the simulation using the equivalent circuit was useful. The designed coaxial band rejection filter was fabricated with 6-1/8 flange. The fabricated filter was measured using a transition from 6-1/8 flange to N-type flange. The insertion loss of the fabricated filter is greater than 25 dB in the dominant mode of the cavity and less than 0.25 dB in the first higher order mode. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulated results and meet the design specification.

This paper presents a novel modified coaxial cavity resonator and its application to bandpass filters with compact size and improved quality factor(Q-factor). The proposed resonator is made up of ${\Gamma}-shape$ or curved four inner conductive posts within a single cavity, which provides quadruplet to realize bandpass filter. No metallic walls inside the cavity are required, and thus the utilization efficiency of the cavity space is improved. As a result, the unloaded Q can be approximately 15 % higher in comparison to the conventional coaxial resonator, or more than 35 % volume saving can be achieved while maintaining the similar Q-factor value with the conventional designs. In addition, due to the multiple cross-coupling occurring within the cavity, including the source-to-load coupling, four flexible transmission zeros can be created to realize different filtering functions. Simulations as well as experimental results of four- and eight-pole filters are presented to validate this attractive design concept. Good agreement between measured and computed results is obtained.

A coaxial pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) with a Teflon cavity was designed, and its performance characteristics were examined varying stored energy, cavity length and capacitance. The PPT was tested as the entire system including the discharge circuit, and the results were explained with both the transfer efficiency and the acceleration efficiency. The transfer efficiency is defined as the fraction of energy in capacitors supplied into plasma, and the acceleration efficiency as the fraction of energy supplied into plasma converted to thrust energy. To estimate these efficiencies, the equivalent plasma resistance was defined and calculated using energy conservation during discharge. The equivalent plasma resistance proportionally increased with cavity length, and therefore the current peak increased with decreasing cavity length. The energy density calculated by the transfer efficiency was increased with decreasing cavity length. As a result, higher acceleration efficiency and lower transfer efficiency were obtained with shorter cavity length. Accordingly, there was an optimal cavity length for the thrust efficiency. The specific impulse and the impulse bit per unit stored energy ranged from 390 s and 50 $\mu$ Ns/J for a cavity length of 34 mm to 825 s and 11 $\mu$ Ns/J for a cavity length of 4 mm when the stored energy was fixed to 21.4J. Thus, it was showed that the performance of this PPT approached that of electromagnetic-acceleration-type PPT with decreasing cavity length. The PPT achieved thrust efficiencies of 10-12% at 21.4 J and 6-7% at 5.35 J at cavity lengths between 14 mm and 29 mm.

A three-dimensional finite difference time domain (3-D FDTD) algorithm of calculation for the characteristics of coaxial-to-cavity filter including a discended probe and a tuning post is presented. In the arrangement the inner coaxial conductor protrudes into the cavity and operates as a probe radiator. And the height of the rectangular tuning post determines the resonant frequency. The validation of this method is confirmed by comparing the calculated values with experimental results for the designed filter.

This paper is a study of an empirical design of an open-ended coaxial cavity resonator. It can be done by using the radius of the inner conductor, the inner radius and the length of the resonator. However, the basic coaxial transmission -line theory can be seen that the characteristics of the resonant frequency and the Q value are varied by the change of length, regardless of the value of radius of the inner conductor and inner radius of the resonator. We find out the impact of radius of the inner conductor, inner radius of the resonator and the length of the resonator parameter and propose the optimized empirical resonator design method by reducing the error between the theoretical value and the design value. Based on the simulation, several resonators are fabricated by the size of 14 mm for the radius of inner conductor, 2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm respectively for the inner radius of resonator, and 8.5 mm for the length of the resonator. The resonant frequencies of the produced resonators were measured at 6.1, 5.7, 6.5 GHz respectively. According to the result of simulation and measurement, we know that we can design the relatively exact open-ended coaxial cavity resonator by applying the basic coaxial transmission-line theory directly when the length of the resonator is less than 10 mm, and adding the correction factor of 0.5 GHz to the calculated resonant frequency in case of more than 10 mm of the length of the resonator.

In this paper the water sensor using a coaxial cavity resonator is designed and manufactured. The water sensor which can sense water drop linearly has been constructed with voltage controlled oscillator(VCO), coaxial cavity resonator, RF switch, RF detector, A/D converter, DAC and micro controller. The operating frequency range of the designed water sensor is from 2.5GHz to 3.2GHz and the input voltage and current source are 24[V/DC] and 1[A]. The designed sensor circuit includes VCO, RF switch, RF detector which varies the frequency characteristics of the devices in the high frequency of 3GHz. And so we should correct the error of the frequency characteristics of those devices in the sensor circuit. To do this, we make the reference path which switches the signals to the RF detector directly without sending it to the resonator. According to the result of simulation and measurement, we can see that there is 0-50MHz difference between simulated resonator frequency and manufactured resonator frequency.

In this paper, resonance frequencies of a reentrant cavity are computed by the mode matching method and the mode orthogonality. The reentrant cavity is composed of a coaxial cable and a cylindrical waveguide, so that resonance frequencies of the resonator can be varied by adjusting the length of the inner conductor of a coaxial cable. The result can be applied to numerous microwave devices such as klystron, wavemeter and resonant circuits of a amplifier and to the measurement of dielectric parameters.

Backhole, which is one of geometric parameters in swirl coaxial injectors, is found to affect the inner flow motion and the acoustic characteristics of the swirl injector. In order to analyze the effect of the backhole as a damping device such as acoustic cavities of the combustion chamber, it was regarded as a Helmholtz or Quarter-wave resonator. As a result, it is known that the swirl coaxial injector with the backhole may produce the resonant frequency coincided with the frequency of the combustion chamber.
