A discussion of rotating wave fields for microwave applications

The concepts of angular momentum, resonant frequencies, and electromagnetic fields in different types of rotating wave modes are studied. A number of interesting and unique properties of rotating waves are discussed, including their constant electric and magnetic field energies. The range of current uses for rotating waves is indicated. An analysis of rotating waves in cylindrical cavity resonators is presented. The TM/sub 110/ rotating mode for a cylindrical resonator is discussed in some detail.<
