A cylindrical reentrant cavity is discussed that features a tunable resonant frequency. The tuning range can, in principle, be as large as a factor of 3, but the present design achieved only a 28% tuning range. Such a system could be utilized where it is necessary to tune the resonant frequency over a limited range, as in magnetic resonance experiments.
