Abstract:
The performance of circular, rectangular and cross irises for the coupling of microwave power
to rectangular waveguide cavity resonators is discussed. For the measurement of complex
permittivity of materials using cavity perturbation techniques, rectangular cavities with high
Q-factors are required. Compared to the conventional rectangular and circular irises, the cross Iris
coupling structure provides very high loaded quality factor for all the resonant frequencies. The
proposes cross iris coupling structure enhances the accuracy of complex permittivity measurements.
