Study of fabry-perot cavities with metal mesh mirrors using equivalent circuit models. Comparison with experimental results in the 60 GHz band

摘要

The equivalent circuit modelling technique is used to study the resonant frequency and Q factor of plane parallel Fabry-Perot cavities with square aperture metal mesh mirrors. Comparison of different models found in literature with experimental data in the 60 GHz band is given for thin and thick cavities. Chen's model is shown to give a good agreement with measurements, as long as the cavity is not too selective and for large enough cavity.
