 WGs can be coupled through small apertures such as for
directional couplers and power dividers

A small aperture can be represented as an
infinitesimal electric and/or magnetic dipole.
Fig 4.30
 Both fields can be represented by their respective
polarization currents.
 The term ‘small’ implies small relative to an electrical
wavelength.

Electric and magnetic polarization can be
related to electric and magnetic current
sources, respectively
From Maxwell’s equations, we have
  E   j B  M   j0 H  j0 P m  M
  H  j D  J  je 0 E  j P e  J

Thus sinceM andJ has the same role as

Microwave Resonator
 A resonator is a device or system that exhibits resonance
or resonant behavior, that is, it naturally นoscillates at some
frequencies, called its resonant frequency, with greater
amplitude than at others.
 Resonators are used to either generate waves of specific
frequencies or to select specific frequencies from a signal.
 The operation of microwave resonators is very similar to
that of the lumped-element resonators of circuit theory.
