Specialty Definitions: Resonator

DomainDefinitions

Aerospace

In radio and radar applications, a circuit which will resonate at a given frequency, or over a range of frequencies, when properly excited.A very important type of resonator is the cavity resonator, a closed hollow volume having conducting walls. The frequency at which these cavities will resonate is a function of their volume and shape; thus, they are used for making accurate frequency comparisons and for generating radio frequencies, usually in the microwave region. (references)

Chemistry

A vacuum chamber that contains the laser gas, optics, blowers and electrodes and generated the laser beam. Source: European Union. (references)

Electrical Engineering

Any device exhibiting a sharply defined electric, mechanical or acoustic resonance effect, e. g. a stub, piezoelectric crystal, or Helmholtz resonator. Source: European Union. (references)

Medicine

The absorption is obtained as a result of the tiny slug of air in the neck of the opening being forced to oscillate at a frequency determined by the size of the opening and the volume of the enclosed cavity. Source: European Union. (references)
