Abstract
Abstract The cavity resonator is composed of a closed metallic body transversely subdivided into two parts, housing a small dielectric cylinder, which is held in coaxial position inside the cavity by two small quartz plates provided with a centering indentation. Holes are provided in the lateral surface for tuning screws and an access connector and coupling irises can be cut in the bases.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A dielectric-loaded cavity resonator, comprising: a generally closed metallic housing defining a cylindrical cavity and formed with two spaced-apart steps on opposite sides of an increased-diameter portion of said cavity spaced from opposite ends of said housing; and a dielectric assembly received in said housing and comprising: a pair of dielectric plates each seated in one of said steps and formed with a centering indentation opening toward the other of said plates, and a dielectric cylinder received between said plates and having opposite bases each received in a respective one of said indentations, whereby said assembly formed by said plates and said cylinder is held in a fixed position in said cavity and is spaced from said ends by said steps.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
A dielectric-loaded cavity resonator, comprising: a generally closed metallic housing defining a cylindrical cavity and formed with two spaced-apart steps on opposite sides of an increased-diameter portion of said cavity spaced from opposite ends of said housing; and a dielectric assembly received in said housing and comprising: a pair of dielectric plates each seated in one of said steps and formed with a centering indentation opening toward the other of said plates, and a dielectric cylinder received between said plates and having opposite bases each received in a respective one of said indentations, whereby said assembly formed by said plates and said cylinder is held in a fixed position in said cavity and is spaced from said ends by said steps.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
The cavity resonator defined in claim 1 wherein said housing is subdivided transversely to an axis of said cavity into two parts, one of said parts being formed with said increased-diameter portion of a height substantially equal to the height of said assembly and the other of said parts being formed with a cylindrical cavity of a diameter slightly smaller than a diameter of said plates.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The cavity resonator defined in claim 1 wherein each of said plates is formed with an axial hole having a diameter smaller than that of said indentation.
