Modeling tuning a cavity

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, I am very new to COMSOL, but I think I am getting the hang of the system. I was wondering if anyone might have suggestions as to how I may go about modeling tuning a cylindrical cavity.

I have modeled a cylinder and run an Eigenfrequency and Frequency Domain analysis. I hoped to use the Frequency Domain to model the electric field if the cavity was very close to being tuned but not exactly tuned. I used Eigenfrequency to run a very tight frequency sweep but all that I got was that the electric field = 0 . I used aluminum as the cavity walls and set an impedance boundary condition. Are there any suggestions? Am I missing something that makes this solution realistic?

Thank you,
Enrique

Enrique,

different from the eigenfrequency study you must excite the cavity some way in a frequency domain analysis. Just a wild guess, because you aren't talking about any feeding structure for the cavity.

Cheers
Edgar
