A circular cavity resonator has a wave number of 151, radius of 2.74 cm, and surface resistance of 0.0184Ω. If the cavity is filled with a dielectric of 2.01, then unloaded Q due to conductor loss is:

Correct Answer: 29390
Unloaded Q of a circular resonator due to conductor loss is given by ka/2Rs. is the intrinsic impedance of the medium. Substituting the given values in the equation for loaded Q, value is 29390.
