Abstract
An externally temperature-compensated microwave resonator comprises a microwave resonator and an external temperature compensator. The microwave resonator is a multi-cavity waveguide. The cavities are configured side-by-side and coupled through irises. The external temperature compensator is oriented and configured to effect a change in volume of the cavities when the resonator and compensator undergo a temperature gradient. The compensator deflects a wall portion of the resonator to accordingly counteract a change in volume of the cavity caused by a temperature gradient.
