retcav(a,b,d,l,m,er,sgr) 
% RETCAV   Provides  the  resonance  frequency  FR  in  GHz and  the   
%          quality  factor  Q  for a rectangular cavity operating in
%          the mode TElm0.
%
%	       [FR,Q] = RETCAV(A,B,D,L,M,ER,SGR)
%
%          A, B and D  are the cavity dimensions in  mm (D > A > B).
%          L, and M are integers correspondent to the number of half 
%          wavelenght along the direction  D and A, respectively. ER 
%          is the relative  dielectric constant of the medium inside 
%          the cavity and  SGR is the relative condutivity  in terms
%          of the copper condutivity (5.8 x 10^7 S/m). If SGR is not 
%          provided  then  the  copper  condutivity  is  assumed  as 
%          default.
