Abstract
The highest Q Q -factor resonators employ whispering gallery modes in single-crystal sapphire but have poor temperature stability. Rutile was the first dielectric material used to construct a microwave dielectric resonator. However, its very high temperature coefficient of permittivity made it unsuitable for practical applications. This paper reports a high Q Q -factor (50 000) and temperature-stable spherical Bragg reflector resonator based on polycrystalline rutile operating at 29.9 GHz. Temperature stability is achieved by adjusting the electric filling factor of a spherical shell so that in combination with its highly negative temperature coefficient of permittivity, the effect of thermal expansion is exactly cancelled out.
