Abstract
A cavity resonator integrated on a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) is provided. The cavity resonator includes a cavity defined by an upper metal surface and a lower metal surface embedded in a low conductivity semiconductor, and a plurality of discrete metal connections coupled between the upper and lower metal surfaces, and at least one port for coupling to the cavity electromagnetically.
