Comments on "Whispering gallery dielectric resonator modes for W-band devices" [with reply]

For the original article see ibid., vol.38, no.11, p.1667-74 (1990). The commenter points out a discrepancy in the above-titled power by D. Cros and P. Guillon. The resonances on the plot are attributed to whispering gallery (WG) modes WGE/sub 6-10,/ /sub 0,0/ and WGH/sub 6-10,/ /sub 0-0/ for an alumina resonator of 5-mm diameter and 0.635 mm high. The result of the commenter's analysis, showing that a set of higher order radial modes are being measured (WGE/sub 6-10,/ /sub 1,/ /sub 0/ and WGH/sub 6-10,/ /sub 1,/ /sub 0/) are presented. In their reply, the authors present further results in support of their conclusions.<
