Dielectric resonators suitable for use in planar integrated circuits at short millimeter wavelengths

Experimental results are presented of planar whispering-gallery-mode dielectric resonators. The three-dimensional field pattern obtained by using finite-element techniques as well as measured resonant frequencies and quality factors carried out in the Ka (26.5-40 GHz) and 90-100-GHz bands is presented. The application to millimeter-wave components is discussed. >
