The exact harmonic series solution for the fields in a cylindrically stratified plasma is utilized to examine the cavity resonant frequencies. The prolilem is restricted to two‐dimensional geometry such that the d‐c magnetic field is parallel to the axis of the system. Some numerical results are given for the special case of an annular air region bounded by a perfectly conducting core and an homogeneous external plasma. It is shown that the d‐e magnetic field shifts the resonant frequencies from their isotropic values and causes certain “line‐splitting” effects.
