#

An air-filled circular cylindrical cavity with copper walls and length is to resonate at in the TM mode.

  1. Find the radius .
  2. Find the quality factor and the 3-dB bandwidth.
  3. Find the next two resonances and their modes.
  4. How long may the cavity be made before TM is no longer the lowest mode?
