Abstract
We demonstrated a novel method to measure the unloaded quality factor (Q factor) of high-Q resonant cavities. This method was used to obtain data with low errors and calculate the unloaded Q factor. This procedure was more reliable than traditional methods. The data required for the method were near the resonant frequency, not at the half-power points of the reflection coefficient curve or Smith chart. We applied the new method to measure a resonant cavity with an unloaded Q factor of ~ 100,000, obtaining good agreement between the measured and theoretical results.
