First, we formulate the general dispersion relation for such a resonator and we show that this configuration may in principal provide the miniaturization possibility. A category of settings which provide maximum degree of miniaturization are determined. Quality factor variations are also calculated theoretically and finally a design example with the resonant frequency of about 1.39GHz, 94% miniaturization, and a relatively high quality factor of about 4500, comparing with the other miniaturized metamaterial resonators, is presented and also numerically simulated. The simulated results verify the accuracy of analytical calculations.encylindrical cavityMiniaturizationMNG mediumresonatorsurface wavesConference PaperOther
