Resonator

</dt>
In radio and radar applications, a circuit which will resonate at a given frequency, or over a range of frequencies, when properly excited. </dd>
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. </dd>
