I. INTRODUCTION
In general, the electromagnetic cavity resonators
are open systems and are coupled to external energy
sources through, e.g., coaxial lines and waveguides.
The strong electromagnetic coupling, which h a s
attracted considerable attention especially in heavily
dumped cavities for particle accelerators [ l l , [21,
disturbs the electromagnetic fields in the cavities and
then significantly modifies the resonant frequencies.
The electromagnetic fields and resonant frequencies
of closed cavities can be effectively analyzed by
various numerical methods. There are, however, few
methods by which a cavity coupled to waveguide is
effectively analyzed. Kroll et al. have reported a
useful, highly sophisticated numerical method for
computing the external Q, which characterizes the
degree of external coupling, and resonant frequencies
of the waveguide loaded cavities [ Z ] . Although their
method, which is based on the theoretical relation
between the phase change of electric fields and the
frequency, can give the above quantities only using
conventional computational codes for closed cavities,
it requires physical consideration on the electric field
distribution. Moreover, the method results i n a
nonlinear equation, including several unknowns,
which does not seem easy to handle.
This paper describes a simple, new approach based
on finite element method for the analysis of the
resonant frequencies and external Q values of a
waveguide loaded cavity. In this method, the Robintype boundary conditions is imposed on the virtual
boundary which divides the whole region into the
finite cavity-waveguide a n d infinitely long
waveguide regions. The introduction of this boundary
condition leads to a second order proper equation with
a damping term, which can be reduced to a linear one
solvable by standard numerical techniques.
11. FORMULATION
In this paper, we restrict our consideration to the
two dimensional problem. Fig. 1 shows a schematic of
the waveguide loaded cavity with a metallic wall.
Provided that the cross section of the system in the xy
plane is independent of z, the z component of the
electric field, a, in this cavity-waveguide system is
governed by the two dimensional scalar Helmholtz
equation

Moreover, the finite element discretization of (6)
gives the matrix equation,
and {Ne} and {NI) are the shape function vectors for
the field and boundary elements, respectively, and
{Neu}denotes the derivative of {Ne}with respect to U.
By varying the frequency of the incident wave and
solving (71, we get the frequency response of the
waveguide loaded cavity. At resonance, however,
there is a n outgoing wave but no incoming wave [21.
Thus, the driving term in the right hand side of (7)
can be eliminated at resonance. In addition, the
dispersion relation, p2= k2 - k,2, where k, is the cut-off
wavenumber of TElo mode, holds in the waveguide.
