Abstract: A temperature-controlled RF resonator. The resonator includes an insulating thermal enclosure within which are implemented: at least one resonant element configured to deliver an RF output signal when supplied with an RF input signal; at least one heating element configured to supply thermal energy within the thermal enclosure when the at least one heating element is powered by an LF electric power signal; and at least one temperature sensor configured to deliver an LF electric measurement signal as a function of the temperature inside the thermal enclosure. Such an RF resonator has at least one input/output port crossing the insulating thermal enclosure and propagating at least: one signal from among the RF signals; and another signal from among the LF electric signals.
