Movable plunger (c direction)
Use plunger to change the dimension of the
cavity in z-direction and search for maxima in
power stored using the cavity detector. Identify
TE101 and TE102.

1. Oscilloscope should run in X-Y mode
2. To plot the I(f) dependence you have to download both Ch1 and Ch2 data
3. Use triangular waveform as a voltage applied to modulation input of the
oscillator
4. Use a proper time scale setting on the scope which could estimated from
scanning frequency
5. Apply the calibration equation to calculate the frequency of the oscillator
from the modulation voltage

By changing of the coupling between oscillator and cavity we can control
the quality factor of the cavity resonance but in the same time we changing
the power delivered to the cavity
While in resonance: turn orientation of the
input loop from the vertical direction in 10o
steps to 360o.
Read cavity detector.

Presence of dielectric reduces length of cavity at a given resonance
frequency ω0.
This effect grows with the electric field strength Ey.
(0) Without dielectric the cavity length at resonace is c0.
(1) Place dielectric into cavity and move in 0.5cm steps, li.
(2) At each place tune plunger to resonance and record ci.
(3) Plot ∆ci=|c0-ci| versus li : this measures now Ey vs l!
