Abstract :
TE/sub 011/ mode of a sapphire cavity for H-maser was analytically solved, and the quality factor and filling factor was calculated as well as oscillation power and stability. Based on the analysis, a sapphire cavity was developed and its measured characteristics agreed very well with the analysis.
