Coaxial ceramic resonators are cool... they are small, extremely

How do you measure the Qs of resonators in the thousands?


Well, all the usual methods: resonance width, phase shift, ringdown,
stuff like that. I work with gadgets with Qs over 1e9, and people
measure them without difficulty.

Ringdown is the easist way when Qs are extremely high.
