(color online) Configurations of defective magnetic field with different numbers of mirrors (a) and the resulted variations of peak wave magnitude (rms) with frequency. These peak magnitudes are measured at r = 0.0371 m and axially 1.4548 m away from the defect location. The black bar labels the external driving antenna.
