Resonators
The storage of electric or magnetic field can be expressed by the equivalent inductance and capacitance, respectively, in fashion of RLC (lumped circuit theory). If such properties are highly dependent on frequency, over a short range, such device/circuit is called Resonator. These resonators are fundamentals of microwave circuit, each circuit of microwave systems has resonance or a resonator intern. The RLC equivalent can be enable by various transmission line structure; Waveguides, slots, and cavities. Here Here we will study on how to excite such microwave resonators using various microwave networks
