DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS First, a method of measuring a linear expansion coefficient according to the present invention and its principle will be described. In general, the resonance frequency of a cavity in an electromagnetic field depends only on the dimensions of the cavity and the dielectric constant of the substance in the cavity. According to the present invention, when the inside of the cavity is evacuated, If the temperature change of the dielectric constant is filled with a gas such as air, which is extremely small, the change of the resonance frequency with respect to the temperature depends on only the dimensional change due to the thermal expansion of the cavity resonator. By measuring the change, the coefficient of linear expansion of the insulator material constituting the resonator is calculated.
