Abstract
A system for supporting a dielectric resonator in a circular waveguide. A dielectric resonator is held in its optimum position using support posts or rods. The support rods are made from a suitable dielectric material, and slip fitted in holes provided at 90.degree. intervals around the periphery of the dielectric resonator. The support rods are affixed to the waveguie, by gluing or being screwed in place. The support rods are slip fitted such that they are allowed to expand, due to temperature, without causing stress on the dielectric resonator, thus the dielectric resonator is held in position without being affixed to its supporting structure. This is an inexpensive and simple solution to a complex problem. The support system is self-centering and free from all stress. The support system utilizes a minimum amount of supporting material which permits realization of the best unloaded Q.
