We report some theoretical and experimental results about a frequency-temperature compensated sapphire loaded cavity for compact hydrogen maser atomic clocks. Based on theoretical calculations, the frequency-temperature coefficients in the TE 0 1 1 mode of a sapphire cavity associated with two small rings of SrTiO 3 can be reduced. For instance, at 50 • C, when the thickness of the SrTiO 3 ring is 5 mm, the frequency-temperature coefficient can be reduced by about five times, and in the meantime, the quality factor can be kept at above 40 000 synchronously. A sapphire loaded cavity and eight small compensated chips of SrTiO 3 were prepared and a combined cavity of sapphire with SrTiO 3 chips was simulated by the finite element method and measured by experiments. The simulation and the related experimental results agree well. In addition, the frequency-temperature coefficients in two different configurations of eight SrTiO 3 chips were also measured and compared.
