b a z Electromagnetic fields can exist in a variety of different configurations called modes. If the electric field E1 is perpendicular to the zdirection, these modes are denominated TEmodes. TEmnp: m,n,p are the number of half-cycles along the x,y,z, direction respectively. x Magnetic field B1 lines

Modepicture: Reflected microwave-power versus frequency
In the tune-mode of ESR-spectrometers, the microwave frequency is swept over a range of appr. 100 MHz around the nominal centre frequency. The reflected power is depicted versus the frequency on an oscilloscope display.

The quality factor Qcc is the critically coupled cavity. By the definition of critical coupling: Qcc = 1/2Qu
Qu is the quality factor of the uncoupled cavity
The quality factor Qu can be calculated, if the dimensions a,b,d and the resisitvity of the metal is known.
a = 24 mm, d = 42.5 mm, b = 10 mm = 1.510-8 m (Cu at T = 295K)
Qu = 9663
The measured value of Qcc = 4296 compares to an expected value of Qu/2 = 4831
