Abstract

This paper provides a modified formula for calculating dielectric loss of dielectric resonator of working in TE_01δ mode in closed cavity. The measurement system is divided into six regions with all electromagnetic field distributions given in each region. Based on analyzing the formula of loss tangent published in literatures, a quality factor of a substrate is created, and a modified formula is proposed. Validating the modified formula, with three substrates as supports, the frequencies and unloaded quality factors of dielectric resonators made of two sorts of dielectric materials with permittivity 38 and 75 respectively are measured using a closed cavity method. The measured results are compared with those obtained by other well-known formulas and show a good agreement with the result given by the parallel plate method.
