Definitions: Resonator |
ResonatorNoun1. A hollow chamber whose dimensions allow the resonant oscillation of electromagnetic or acoustic waves. 2. An electrical circuit that combines capacitance and inductance in such a way that a periodic electric oscillation will reach maximum amplitude. 3. Any system that resonates.

| Domain | Definitions |
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.
