Abstract

A simple theoretical model for predicting the resonant frequencies of the modes of the whispering — gallery (WG) mode dielectric resonators MICs (Microwave Integrated Circuits) at microwave and millimetre wave frequencies is presented. The unsymmetric field distribution for WGE mode in the axial direction is taken into account. The theoretical results are found to be in good agreement with the practical results taken at microwaves C-X bands. In addition, the variation of resonant modes against dielectric resonator's dimensions and dielectric constant is modelled. The effect of the width of dielectric substrate on resonant modes is also illustrated.
