“…A thin cylinder intro duced into the high primary mode electrical field region of an open loop resonator induces the sweep of the resonance frequency of the latter and additional losses. Relying [11,12], the ratio of the broadening of the resonance curve of a resonator to the resonance frequency shift can be written as (1) where R and X are the active and reactive components of the complex per unit length resistance of a thin cylinder with a radius r 0 at a frequency f, k 1 is the free space wavenumber, μ 0 is the magnetic constant, and γ is the Euler constant. For high impedance conductors, the frequency sweep of an open loop resonator is much lower than the resonance curve broadening and can be neglected in practice.…”
