A TUNABLE WAVEGUIDE RESONATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17919084 titled 'A TUNABLE WAVEGUIDE RESONATOR
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is about a tunable waveguide resonator and a method of tuning its frequency. The waveguide resonator consists of a waveguide part with multiple walls, where one of the walls includes a tuning element. The tuning element has a surface facing towards the inner wall of another wall. When the temperature of the tuning element changes, it is displaced with respect to a reference plane along an extension perpendicular to the surface of the inner wall, thereby changing the dimension of the cavity of the waveguide resonator.
- The invention is a tunable waveguide resonator with a unique tuning element.
- The tuning element is designed to be displaced in response to temperature changes.
- The displacement of the tuning element changes the dimension of the cavity of the waveguide resonator.
- The tunable waveguide resonator allows for the tuning of its frequency.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to a tunable waveguide resonator and a method of tuning a frequency of the tunable waveguide resonator. The waveguide resonator comprises a waveguide part having a plurality of walls where one of the plurality of walls at least partly comprises a tuning element. The tuning element has a first main surface facing toward a first main surface of an inner wall of one other wall of the plurality of walls. The tuning element is caused to, in response to a change in a temperature of the tuning element be reversibly displaced with respect to a reference plane of the first main surface of the tuning element along an extension perpendicular to the first main surface of the one other inner wall and whereby changing a dimension of a cavity of the tunable wave-guide resonator.
