Methods for mode identification and accurate measurements of the unloaded Q ($Q_0$) of a dielectric-loaded $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode cavity resonator with HTS endplates are proposed. A resonator with a sapphire rod and $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) endplates was prepared and its microwave properties were studied at temperatures above 30 K. The $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode $Q_0$ of the resonator, designed to work as a tunable resonator with variations in the gap distance (s) between the sapphire rod and the top YBCO, was more than 1000000 at s = 0 mm and at 30 K with the resonant frequency of 19.56 GHz. The $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode $Q_0$ decreases as s increases for s < 2 mm until mode couplings between the $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode and other modes appeared at s = 2 mm. Significant dependence of the $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode $Q_0$ on the input and output coupling constants was also observed. Applications of the open-ended $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode cavity resonator for a tunable resonator with a very high Q as well as a characterization tool for the surface resistance measurements of HTS films are described.

TE$_{01\;{\delta}}$ mode Cavity Resonators with a low loss dielectric rod and YBa$_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ (YBCO) endplates were prepared and their microwave properties were studied at temperatures above 30 K. Both sapphire and rutile were used as the dielectrics. The TE$_{01\;{\delta}}$ mode Q$_0$ of the resonator, designed to work as a tunable resonator with variations in the gap distance (s) between the dielectric rod and the top YBCO, was more than 1000000 at s = 0 mm and at 30 K and .the resonant frequency of 19.56GHz when a sapphire rod was used for the dielectric. The TE$_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ mode resonant frequency (f$_0$) appeared to decrease as the temperature is raised. Meanwhile, the temperature dependence of the TE$_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ mode f$_0$ of the rutile-loaded resonator appeared different with f$_0$ increasing according to the temperature and Q$_0$ more than 300000 at 30 K and f$_0$ = 8.56 CHz. Comparisons were made between the microwave properties of the sapphire-loaded and the rutile-loaded resonators. Also, applications of the TE$_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ mode cavity resonator for a tunable resonator with a very high Q$_0$ as · well as a characterization tool for surface resistance measurements of HTS films are described.

In this paper, we propose that three uniform coplanar waveguides(CPWs), such as a conventional, finite grounded(FG), and grounded(G) CPWs, can be coupled with a $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode dielectric resonator(DR) for a parallel resonant characteristic as a microstrip line coupled with the DR. Coupling characteristics have been investigated by placing the DR on a dielectric support above the CPWs and by moving the DR away from the center of a slot of the CPWs to the ground plane. FEM simulation(HFSS) results in terms of S-parameters agree well with measurement results. Finally, unloaded Q values of the DR coupled with the three uniform CPWs are compared with those of the DR coupled with a microstrip line. The comparison shows that the DR coupled with the three CPWs has higher unloaded Qs than that coupled with a microstrip line and that the GCPW case has the highest unloaded Qs.

In this thesis, a BPF(band-pass filter) at the center frequency of 2.14GHz, and bandwidth of 20MHz is designed and implemented using high Q dielectric resonators with ${\varepsilon}_r=38$. The DR(dielectric resonator) is resonated by $TE_{01{\delta}}$-mode and it has a hole in the center of DR. The BPF consists of 6-poles dielectric resonators and the characteristic of elliptic function is obtained by non-adjacent coupling. It has the average insertion loss of 0.97dB and the return loss over 25dB in its passband. In this thesis, the frequency selectivity is more improved by the coupling characteristics between non-adjacent resonators than that of dielectric resonator filters with a Chebyshev response.

In this paper, a small BPF(band pass filter) is designed using new probe type for wireless communication system. The dielectric resonator is used high Q ceramics for low loss characteristic. In order to provide a band pass filter which can be reduced in dimension, can be reduced in height, and can be surface-mounted. The filter was fabricated using $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode dielectric resonator. The input/output probes are attached to coner portion of the rectangular metal cavity. Results of the manufactured filter($12{\times}12{\times}8[mm]$) show that the center frequency is 9.95358[GHz], the insertion loss is -1.9[dB], the 3[dB]_bandwidth is 14.9[MHz], and the loaf Q is 664.

We investigated the phase noise of an oscillator with a extremely high-Q resonator used as the resonant element. A TE$_{011}$ mode rutile-loaded resonator with high-temperature superconductive (HTS) $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$(YBCO) films used as the endplates is prepared for this purpose. At 23.5 K, the unloaded Q and the loaded Q are 863000 and 180000, respectively. The phase noise of -104.8 dBc/Hz at 1 KHz offset was observed for the oscillator having a resonator with $Q_{L}$ =180000 at the $TE_{01\delta$ mode resonant frequency of 8.545 GHz at 23.5 K Such oscillators with very low phase noise are expected to be used for building up communication systems capable of efficient use of the frequency band and high-speed data transmission as well as for Doppler radars. Frequency tuning could be realized for the resonator by using a piezoactuator Applicability of the tunable rutile resonator for fabricating tunable oscillators of high performances is discussed.

Electromagnetic simulation was compared to the measurement with a network analyzer in the cavity resonator method which has been used for determining microwave quality factor. Scattering matrix $S_{12}$ obtained from the network analyzer was compared to the $S_{12}$ obtained from the simulation. The effects of the pore and the secondary phase of the dielectric resonator on the microwave quality factor were studied. From the simulated results, the dominant resonant $TE_{01\delta}$ mode was determined and the quality factor was observed to decrease with the pore and the secondary phase in the dielectrics.

In this paper, the design of a compact triple-mode bandpass filter using a high-Q cylindrical dielectric resonator is proposed. In detail, the triple $TE_{01{\delta}}$ modes along three orthogonal axes are used and novel coupling structure in the metallic enclosure is adopted to introduce the coupling between the resonant modes. Due to the cross coupling, the proposed bandpass filter has an asymmetric frequency response with flexible three transmission zeros, one of which can be located very close to the passband edge to provide an extremely sharp skirt characteristic with low insertion loss. The proposed filter is about 60 % miniaturized compared with conventional single-mode dielectric resonator filter. The proposed bandpass filter design is validated by the circuit and 3D EM simulations and measurements compared to the target specifications.

Three-Dimensional FDTD method is applied to analyze the dielectric resonator coupled with two microstrip lines. We model accurately the curved surface using Noriaki model. The frequency resolution is 106.46 MHz by the conventional FFT However it is not sufficient for determining its resonant frequency. So we introduce the Pad approximation and Stoer-Bulirsch method in order to have the high frequency resolution degree, 1.00 MHz. All results are compared with the measured data. As a result, we acquire the very precise result through the Pad approximation. And sinusoidal wave is applied. From the plot of the electric and magnetic field distribution, it is shown that the resonant mode is $TE_{01{\delta}}$ mode.

Effects of cavity material on the Q-factor measurement of microwave dielectric materials were studied by HFSS simulation and the measurements using metal cavity. $TE_{01\delta}$ mode resonant frequency was determined from the electric and magnetic field patterns and the loaded Q-factor was calculated from 3dB bandwidth of $S_{21}$ spectrum. When the cavity metal materials were Cu, SUS and Au cavity, the level of Q-factor was similar. However, Q-factor was significantly decreased when the cavity metal material was CuO. The Q-factor measurements of dielectric resonator by network analyzer using various metal cavity exhibits consistent behavior.
