AbstractThis paper presents a thorough study of the time-domaintheory of metal cavity resonators. The completeness of the vectormodal functions of a perfectly conducting metal cavity is first proved
by symmetric operator theory, and analytic solution for the fielddistribution inside the cavity excited by an arbitrary source is thenobtained in terms of the vector modal functions. The main focus ofthe present paper is the time-domain theory of a waveguide cavity,for which the excitation problem may be reduced to the solution of anumber of modified Klein-Gordon equations. These modified Klein-Gordon equation are then solved by the method of retarded Greensfunction in order that the causality condition is satisfied. Numericalexamples are also presented to demonstrate the time-domain theory.The analysis indicates that the time-domain theory is capable ofproviding an exact picture for the physical process inside a closed cavityand can overcome some serious problems that may arise in traditionaltime-harmonic theory due to the lack of causality.
1. INTRODUCTION
The rapid progress in ultra-wideband technologies has prompted thestudy of time-domain electromagnetics. Compared to the voluminousliterature on time-harmonic theory of electromagnetics, the time-domain electromagnetics is still a virgin land to be cultivated. Inthe time-domain theory, the fields are assumed to start at a finiteinstant of time and Maxwell equations are solved subject to initialconditions, boundary conditions, excitation conditions and causality.A metal cavity resonator constitutes a typical eigenvalue problem inelectromagnetic theory and has been investigated by a number ofauthors [e.g., 15], and the study of the transient process in a metal

cavity may be carried out by the field expansions in terms of the modalvector functions. When these expansions are introduced into the time-domain Maxwell equations one may find that the expansion coefficientssatisfy the ordinary differential equations of second order [3], which
can be easily solved once the initial conditions and the excitationsare known. Recently this approach has been used to investigate theresponses of the metal cavity to digital signals [4].
Although the study of metal cavity resonator has a long history,there are still some open questions which need to be investigated. Thispaper attempts to answer these questions, and presents a thoroughdiscussion on the time-domain theory of metal cavities. The paperis organized as follows. Section 2 studies the eigenvalue theoryof a perfectly conducting metal cavity filled with lossy medium.A fundamental problem in metal cavity theory is to prove thecompleteness of its vector modal functions, which has been tried byKurokawa [1]. But there is a loophole in Kurokawas approach inwhich he fails to show the existence of the vector modal functions.
The main purpose of Section 2 is to provide a rigorous proof of thecompleteness of the vector modal functions on the basis of the theoryof symmetric operators. Section 3 summarizes the field expansionsinside an arbitrary metal cavity filled with lossy medium in termsof the vector modal functions, and discusses the limitations of thetime-harmonic theory when it is applied to a closed metal cavity.Section 4 is dedicated to a metal cavity formed by a section of uniformwaveguide, i.e., the waveguide cavity. The time-domain theory of thewaveguide developed previously [6] is applicable to this case, and thefields inside the waveguide cavity can be expanded in terms of thetransverse vector modal functions of the corresponding waveguide. Theexpansion coefficients of the fields are shown to satisfy the modifiedKlein-Gordon equation subject to homogeneous boundary conditions,
which are then solved by the method of retarded Greens function tosatisfy the causality requirement. In order to validate the theory, someexamples are expounded in Section 5, and the field responses to typicalexcitation waveforms are demonstrated.
An important observation in this paper is that the causality playsan important role in determining the field response of a closed cavity.In other words, one must take the initial conditions into considerationin order to obtain a correct field response (transient or steady-state).The time-domain theory shows that a sinusoidal response can be builtup if and only if the cavity is excited by sinusoidal source whosefrequency coincides with one of the resonant frequencies of the cavity.The traditional time-harmonic theory, however, predicts that the fieldresponse is always sinusoidal if the excitation source is sinusoidal.

This discrepancy comes from the lack of causality in traditional time-harmonic theory, which assumes that the source is turned on at t = instead of a finite instant of time and has ignored the initial conditions.
Another interesting observation is that the field responses in a
lossless cavity predicted by the time-harmonic theory are singulareverywhere inside the cavity if the frequency of the sinusoidalexcitation source coincides with one of the resonant frequencies ofthe cavity, while the time-domain theory always gives finite fieldresponses. The singularities in time-harmonic theory can be removedby introducing losses inside the cavity, which is essentially required bythe uniqueness theorem for a time-harmonic field in a bounded region.
2. EIGENVALUE THEORY FOR METAL CAVITYRESONATOR
The metal cavity resonator constitutes a typical eigenvalue problem,where the eigenvalues correspond to resonant frequencies of thecavity and eigenfunctions correspond to the natural field distributions.Given the eigenvalue problem, one must show the existence andcompleteness of the eigenfunctions, and the latter implies that the setof eigenfunctions can be used to expand an arbitrary function.
2.1. Eigenvalue Problems for a Metal Cavity
Let us consider a metal cavity with a perfectly conducting wall. Itwill be assumed that the medium in the cavity is homogeneous andisotropic with medium parameters , and . The volume occupiedby the cavity is denoted by V and the boundary of V by S (Figure 1).Since the metallic wall is a perfect conductor, the transient fields in

the cavity satisfy Maxwell equations
E(r, t) = tH(r, t)
H(r, t) = tE(r, t) + E, r V
E(r, t) = 0 H(r, t) = 0
(1)
with boundary conditions un E= 0 and un H= 0, where un is theunit outward normal to the boundary S and all other notations havetheir usual meaning. From (1), one may obtain
E(r, t) +

(3)
If the solutions of (2) and (3) can be expressed as a separable functionof space and time
E(r, t) = e(r)u(t), H(r, t) = h(r)v(t)
it follows from (2) and (3) that e k2ee = 0, e = 0, r Vun

. Both (4) and (5) form an eigenvalue problem. However their

eigenfunctions do not form a complete set. To overcome this difficulty,(4) and (5) can be modified as [1]
e e k2ee = 0, r V
un e = 0, e = 0, r S(8)
h h k2hh = 0, r Vun h = 0, un h = 0, r S (9)
These are the eigenvalue equations for the metal cavity system.
2.2. Completeness of the Eigenfunctions
The eigenvalue problems (8) and (9) have been discussed by Kurokawa[1]. Kurokawas approach suffers a drawback that has overlooked theproof of the existence of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. In thefollowing, a rigorous approach will be presented, which is similar to
what is used in studying the waveguide eigenvalue problem [6]. Let usrewrite the eigenvalue problem (8) as
B(e) = e e = k2ee, r Vun e = 0, e = 0, r (10)
where B = . The domain of definition of operator B isdefined by
D(B) =ee (C())2 , un e = 0, e = 0 on
where C(V) stands for the set of functions that have continuous
partial derivatives of any order. Let L
2
(V) stand for the spaceof square-integrable functions defined in V and H = (L2(V))3 =L2(V) L2(V) L2(V). For two vector fields e1 and e2 in (L2(V))3,the inner product is defined by (e1,e2) =
Ve1 e2dV (a bar is used
to designate the complex conjugate) and the corresponding norm isdenoted by = (, )1/2. (10) can be modified as an equivalent formby adding a term e on both sides
A(e) = e e+ e = k2e + e, r Vun e = e = 0, r (11)
where is an arbitrary positive constant. It is easy to show that
the operator A is symmetric, strongly monotone. In fact, for all

e1,e2 D(A) = D(B), the energy product is given by(e1,e2)A = (A(e1),e2) =
V
( e1 e1 + e1) e2d
=V
[ e1 e2 + ( e1)( e2) + e1 e2] d (12)
Therefore the new operator A is symmetric. Thus e can be assumedto be real. A is also strongly monotone since (A(e),e) e2.Therefore one can introduce the energy inner product of the operator Adefined by (u, v)A = (Au, v). The energy space HA is the completion
of D(A) with respect to the norm A = (, )1/2A [7]. Let e HA,and by definition, there exists admissible sequence {en D(A)} for esuch that en e 0 as n and {en} is a Cauchy sequence inHA. It follows from (12) that
en
em
2A
=
en
em2+

Consequently { en} and { en} are Cauchy sequences in H. Asa result, there exist h H, and L2(V) such that en h and en as n . From integration by parts, one may write
V
en dV =V
en dV, (C0 (V))3
V
( en)dV = V

Letting n yields

dV =

dV = V
e dV, C0 (V).
In the above C0 (V) is the set of all functions in C(V) that vanish
outside a compact subset of V. Therefore e = h and e = hold in the generalized sense. For arbitrary e1,e2 HA, there are twoadmissible functions {e1n} and {e2n} such that e1n e1 0 ande2n e2 0 as n . Define
(e1,e2)A = limn

where the derivatives must be understood in the generalized sense.Now one can show that the embedding HA H is compact. LetJ(e) = e, e HA. Then the linear operator J : HA H iscontinuous since
J(e)2 = e2 1 e2 + e2 + e2 = 1e2HA.A bounded sequence {en} HA implies
en2HA = en2 + en2 + en2
=
V
(enx)
2 + (eny)2 + (enx)2 + (eny)2
d c
where c is a constant. So the compactness of the operator J followsfrom the above inequality and the Rellichs theorem [1, 7]. Thus thefollowing theorem may apply to the operator A [7, pp.284]
Theorem: Let H be a real separable Hilbert space with dim H = and A : D(A) H H be a linear, symmetric operator. Assumethat A is strongly monotone, i.e., there exists a constant c1 such that(Au, u) > c1u2 for all u D(A). Let AF be the Friedrichs extensionofA and HA be the energy space of operator A. If the embeddingHA H is compact, then the following eigenvalue problem
AFu = u, u D(AF)has a countable eigenfunctions {un}, which form a completeorthonormal system in the Hilbert space H, with un HA. Eacheigenvalue corresponding to un has finite multiplicity. Furthermore1 2 , and n n.
It follows from this theorem that there exists a complete set ofreal eigenfunctions {en}, called electric field modal functions, andthe corresponding eigenvalues, denoted by k2e,n, which approach toinfinity as n . The set of modal functions will be assumed tobe orthonormal, i.e.,
Vem endv = mn. It can be shown that each
modal function can be chosen from one of the following three categories[1]:
I. en = 0, en = 0II. en = 0, en = 0
III. en = 0, en = 0.Similarly one can show that the eigenvalues k2h,n of (9) are real and
positive, and the corresponding magnetic modal functions hn are

real and constitute a complete set, which will be assumed to beorthonormal, i.e.,
Vhm hndv = mn. Also each modal function can
be chosen from one of the following three categories:
I. hn = 0, hn = 0II. hn = 0, hn = 0
III. hn = 0, hn = 0.The modal functions belonging to category II in the two sets of modalfunctions {en} and {hn} are related to each other. Actually let enbelong to category II. Then ke,n = 0 and one can define a function hnthrough
en = ke,nhn (13)Therefore hn belongs to category II. Furthermore
h
k2e,nh = k
1e,n
e
k2e,ne = 0, r

and
un hn = k1e,nun en = k1e,nun k2e,nen = 0, r SConsider the integration ofun hn over an arbitrary part ofS, denotedS
S
un hnds = k1e,nS
un ends = k1e,n
en ud
where is the closed contour around S and u is the unit tangentvector along the contour. The right-hand side is zero. Thus un hn = 0since S is arbitrary. Therefore hn satisfies (9) and the corresponding
eigenvalue is k2e,n. Ifhm is another eigenfunction corresponding to embelonging to category II, thenV
hm hndv = (ke,mke,n)1V
em endv
= (ke,mke,n)1S
unem ends+(ke,n/ke,m)V
em endv
= mn
Therefore the eigenfunctions hn in category II can be derived from theeigenfunction en in category II. Conversely ifhn is in category II, onecan define en by
hn = kh,nen (14)
-

and a similar discussion shows that en is an eigenfunction of (4) withkh,n being the eigenvalue. So the completeness of the two sets are stillguaranteed if the eigenfunctions belonging to category II in {en} and{hn} are related through either (13) or (14). From now on, (13) and(14) will be assumed to hold, and ke,n = kh,n will be denoted by kn.Note that the complete set {en} is most appropriate for the expansionof electric field, and {hn} for the expansion of the magnetic field.

In order to validate the theory, let us consider a cavity excited by aninfinitesimal electric and magnetic dipole at r0 [3, pp. 538]
P = P0f(t)(r r0)M = M0f(t)(r r0)
The fields in the cavity satisfy
H(r, t) = 0E(r, t)t

E(r, t) = 0H(r, t)t

J(r, t) = P0f(t)(r

V
Jm(r, t) = M00f(t)(r r0), r V (28)

(29)
If the excitation waveform is sinusoidal which is turned on at t = 0,i.e., f(t) = H(t)sin t, then (29) may be written as
In(t) =
2 2n[cnP0 en(r0)cos t + M0 hn(r0)sin t]
+
22n[cnP0 en(r0)cos t+M0 hn(r0)sin nt] (30)
Similarly one can obtain the expressions of Vn(t).From the time-harmonic theory in which f(t) = sin t, one would
obtain [3, 7.130b]
In(t) =
2 2n[cnP0 en(r0)cos t + M0 hn(r0)sin t] (31)
for a lossless cavity. Thus the second term of the right-hand side of(30) does not occur in (31). Also note that (31) is sinusoidal but (30)is not. Furthermore (30) does not approach to (31) as t , whichcontradicts our usual understanding. In fact, the response (30) basedon the time-domain analysis is not sinusoidal if the frequency of theexcitation sinusoidal waveform does not coincide with any resonantfrequencies, whereas the response (31) based on the time-harmonictheory is always sinusoidal. Therefore the time-harmonic analysis fora metal cavity suffers a theoretical drawback that its solution does notcorrespond to any practical situation in which a source is always turnedon at a finite instant of time. Apparently this theoretical drawback isdue to the lack of causality in the time-harmonic theory.
It can also be seen from (31) that In(t) becomes singular when approaches n, which implies that the fields are infinite everywhere

inside the cavity. This phenomenon is discussed in Bladels book [5]and is compared to a lossless resonant LC network. In Collins book[3], these singularities do not occur because of the introduction of lossesin the metal cavity. However, the time-domain solution (30) has no
singularities even for a lossless cavity. In fact (30) may be rewritten as
In(t) =
nt
+ ncP0 en(r0)sin + n

+ nM0 hn(r0)cos + n

As approaches n, the above becomes
In(t) =nt
2[cP0 en(r0)sin nt M0 hn(r0)cos nt] (32)
for a finite time t, and no singularities appear in (32). Theabove phenomenon can be explained by the uniqueness theorem ofelectromagnetic field. For a bounded region (such as a cavity), thetime-harmonic Maxwell equations have a unique solution if and only ifthe region is filled with lossy medium, while the time-domain Maxwellequations always have a unique solution even if the medium is lossless[9, 10]. Therefore introducing losses in the metal cavity is required bythe time-harmonic electromagnetic theory, which guarantees that thesolution is unique and has no singularities.
Therefore the time-domain solution gives a more reasonablepicture for the physical process inside a metal cavity. More examplesin Section 5 will demonstrate this point.

The evaluation of modal functions in an arbitrary metal cavity isnot an easy task. When the metal cavity consists of a section of auniform metal waveguide, the analysis of the transient process in themetal cavity can be carried out by means of the time-domain theoryof waveguide [6].

4.2. Retarded Greens Function of Modified Klein-GordonEquation
Since the tangential electric field on the electric conductor must bezero, the time-domain voltage satisfies the homogeneous Dirichletboundary conditions
vn(z, t)|z=z1 = vn(z, t)|z=z2 = 0 (39)Making use of the following relation [6]
in(z, t)z
+ kcnhzn(z, t) =1
c
vn(z, t)
t+ vn(z, t)
+
J(, z , t) etn()d()
and considering the boundary condition that the normal component of
the magnetic field on an electric conductor must be zero, the time-domain current must satisfy the homogeneous Neumann boundaryconditions
in(z, t)

In order to solve (34), (35) and (37) subject to the boundary conditions(39) and (40), one may introduce the following retarded Greensfunctions for the modified Klein-Gordon equation

It should be notified that if the magneticcurrent Jm approaches to z1 or z2 so that it is tightly pressed on theelectric wall z = z1 or z = z2, the time-domain voltage and currentwill not satisfy the homogeneous boundary conditions (39) and (40) atz = z1 or z = z2.

5. APPLICATIONS
The time-domain theory developed above may be used to study thetransient process inside a cavity resonator. It will be shown that the
time-domain response of the cavity to an arbitrary excitation waveformturned on at a finite instant of time will be severely distorted. Forexample, the response of a cavity to a sinusoidal excitation turned onat a finite instant of time is not sinusoidal in general, which is totallydifferent from the prediction of time-harmonic theory. To obtain asinusoidal oscillation in the cavity, the frequency of the excitationsinusoidal wave must coincide with one of the resonant frequencies.
5.1. A Shorted Rectangular Waveguide
Let us investigate the transient process in a shorted rectangularwaveguide excited by a line current extending across the waveguidecentered at x = x0 = a/2, z = z0
J(r, t) = uy(x x0)(z z0)f(t) (51)as shown in Figure 3. By the symmetry of the structure and excitation,only TEn0 mode will be excited, which are
etn(x, y) = eTEn0 (x, y) = uy

where eTEn0 (x, y) are given by (52). As can be seen from (54) and(55), one cannot separate the response of a closed cavity into atransient part and a steady-state part. Figure 5 shows the normalizedelectric field aE(r, t)/ at x = 0.5a, z = 0.75a, excited by a source
defined by (51) with sinusoidal waveform f(t) = H(t)sin t witha = b = L. It is assumed that k is below any resonant wavenumbers(n/a)2 + (m/L)2 (m, n 1) with k = . It can be seen from
the plot that the electric field does not approach to a pure sinusoidalwave as t . It should be noted that (54), (55) are finite as kapproaches to any of the resonant wavenumbers

The magnetic field H(r, t) = uH in the coaxial waveguidecan be determined from (33). Figure 9 shows the magnetic field at = (a + b)/2 and z = 3a when ka = 3 with the assumption thatb = 2a, L = 2b, 0 = (a + b)/2, z0 = L/2. In this case k is not equal
to any resonant wavenumbers
(/a)2 + (m/L)2 (m, n 1) and thefield response is not a sinusoidal wave. When the frequency of theexcitation waveform approaches to one of the resonant frequencies, sayka = 2, a sinusoidal wave will gradually build up inside the coaxial
waveguide cavity as shown in Figure 10.

6. CONCLUSION
This paper provides a thorough discussion on the time-domain theoryof metal cavities. A rigorous proof of the completeness of the vector
modal functions inside an arbitrary metal cavity has been presented onthe basis of the theory of symmetric operators. The major topic of thispaper is the waveguide cavity resonator, which has been examined byusing the time-domain theory of the waveguide developed previously.The fields inside the waveguide cavity have been expanded in terms ofthe vector modal functions of the corresponding waveguide, and thefield expansion coefficients are shown to satisfy the modified Klein-Gordon equations subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumannboundary condition, which can then be solved by the method ofretarded Greens function. Such an approach guarantees that thesolutions satisfy the causality condition. Some numerical exampleshave been presented to demonstrate the time-domain theory. It hasbeen shown that, for a closed cavity, the time-domain response to a
sinusoidal waveform turned on at a finite instant of time is generally notsinusoidal even when the time tends to infinity. A sinusoidal responsecan develop inside the cavity only when the frequency of the excitationsinusoidal wave coincides with one of the resonant frequencies of themetal cavity.
The traditional time-harmonic theory, however, always yields asinusoidal response if the excitation waveform is sinusoidal. Thereforethe time-harmonic theory fails to give a correct theoretical predictionfor a closed cavity whenever the source is turned on at a finite instantof time which corresponds to all practical situations. In addition thesingularities occur in the time-harmonic theory for a lossless metalcavity if the frequency of the excitation source coincides with one ofthe resonant frequencies. In this case, the field distributions are infinite
everywhere inside the cavity, leading to an awkward situation. On theother hand, the time-domain theory always gives a finite solution andis thus more appropriate to describe what happens in a closed metalcavity, which is the foundation for a number of important applicationsin microwave engineering and is also helpful in studying various cavity-related problems [1320].
