power capacity about cavity filter
Thanks!
The limit is usually dielectric breakdown. The best case is the maximum field between the walls and the gas inside. Real cavities have manufacturing defects with share corners which reduce the voltage required for breakdown. Unless you are involved in a very high power pulsed RADAR other parts of the system limit the power.
There are some useful papers about this problem.
I don't have theirs. May be anyone can upload this material:

Is that possible deducing from HFSS's indications ?
one of the advantage of HFSS
is the capability to give the Field distribution
for any power applied to the port
By default HFSS will apply 1W to the port
but you can change this value to any other and see the field distribution
without resolving the problem.
When the field inside the cavity is >= the maximu allowable field
you reached the maximum power for the filter

That's right.
I think the maximum allowable field must take the shape of filter cavity and resonator pole into account , and not the breakdown field strength in air(30Kv/m).
Rugby's solution sounds resonable, but how to set the value of the maximu allowable field.
