Design and analysis of split cylinder resonator by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) / Ezuhra Adenan

This project is commonly based on the dielectric sheet perturbation to the dominant TEm mode resonant frequency of a circular cavity. The main objective of this project is to design and simulate a split cylinder resonator. The resonator is being modeled using CST Microwave Studio as unloaded and loaded cavities using fixed dimensions of radius a= 25mm and height=65mm. It is simulated to analyze the value of TEm mode resonance frequency and S21 parameter in both unloaded and loaded cavities. For loaded cavities, eleven samples of dielectric materials with different thickness have been simulated and the results show that each sample has its own permittivity at a certain frequency. The simulate results are then being compared with the measurement results which are obtained from previous work where good agreement are observed [1]. The objectives of this project involve having the knowledge and understanding in designing and simulating a split cylinder resonator and to compare simulation and measurement results for both unloaded and loaded cavities. Other than that, it also involves the view of electromagnetic field at various frequencies.
