ELECTROMAGNETIC MODE ANALYSIS<br />

An actual filter usually consists of multiple cavities cascaded, but this discussion limits<br />

the analysis to one cell. Figure 3-12 shows the filter’s lowest eigenmode. The typical<br />

quarter-wave resonance of the cylindrical post is clearly visible. A strong capacitive<br />

coupling between the top of the post and the nearby face of the box is also obvious.<br />

Figure 3-12: Results from the electromagnetic mode analysis. The plot shows the electric<br />

and surface current patterns of the fundamental mode.<br />
