Resonant Frequency of Open-Ended Cylindrical Cavity

The TE/sub 011/ mode of oscillation in an open-ended circular cylindrical microwave cavity is analyzed. The cavity consists of a circular waveguide that is terminated at each end with a thin cylindrical partition coaxial with the circular waveguide. The resonant frequency of the cavity is computed by using Laplace transform and Wiener-Hopf techniques. Numerical values for the resonant frequency are presented.
