Solution Overview

Problem

The existing transverse magnetic mode dielectric resonators face challenges with thermodynamic deformation, leading to assembly precision issues and reduced soldering reliability due to the use of thin metal sheets that are difficult to assemble and prone to excessive deformation during machining.

Innovation Solution

The use of elastic materials for both the cover and baseplate, which absorb thermodynamic deformation, eliminating the need for precise fitting slots and ensuring reliable soldering by using printed circuit boards with conductive layers and plated through holes for electrical conductivity and deformation absorption.
