A new experimental procedure for the determination of cavity parameters is described. The procedure follows the basic steps described by Slater. In this method one measures the frequencies at which the voltage standing wave ratio at the input to the cavity reaches a predetermined value. The knowledge of these frequencies coupled with a determination of the state of coupling to the cavity yields the necessary information. An exposition of some pertinent theoretical points is followed by a detailed description of the experimental procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
