Potentials (+ and −) and current directions (arrowed) of a rectangular-spiral resonator at (a) fundamental resonant frequency and (b) the first spurious frequency. Potential distributions of an interdigital structure located at the end of a resonator at (c) fundamental resonant frequency and (d) the first spurious frequency. Dashed ellipses represent other parts of the microstrip line of the resonator, and other fingers of the interdigital structure are represented by the ellipsis in the middle.
