Abstract
In this work, the quality factors and the coupling effects have been investigated for parallelepiped dielectric resonators in nonradiative dielectric (NRD) waveguide, in order to achieve fundamental information for the design of various types of advanced filters. The unloaded quality factor has been calculated taking into account both conductor and dielectric losses through a straightforward version of the perturbation method. The electromagnetic coupling as a function of the distance between NRD guide and resonators has been evaluated through proper extensions of typical lumped equivalent circuits, thus quantifying resonance frequency shifts, external and loaded quality factors, etc.. To validate the derived theoretical models, suitable measurements of all these parameters have been performed at microwaves on X-band NRD prototypes.
