Design of Rectangular Resonators and Planar Microresonators for X-band Pulsed EPR Spectrometer

Abstract

Abstract:

The continuous wave and pulse resonant cavities were designed and manufactured for the pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer. The resonant cavity used for the continuous wave EPR was a rectangular resonator, and the pulse resonant cavity adopted the structure of planar microresonator. The software of 3D electromagnetic simulation, Ansoft-HFSS, were used for simulation. The parameters of the designed resonators were evaluated with the network analyzer. The experimental data were found to be consistent with those of theoretical simulation.

Key words: electron paramagnetic resonance, rectangular resonator, planar microresonator
