Abstract Novel periodically loaded E‐plane waveguide resonators are presented in this paper. The proposed resonators make use of the slow‐wave effect in order to achieve significantly increased loaded Q values for resonators of constant volume, as compared to their homogeneous counterparts, without introducing any complexity in the fabrication process. Numerical and experimental results are presented to validate the argument. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
