Patent ID: 8289108

Claim:
A system for heat transfer in a communication device, the system comprising: a dielectric resonator that generates heat when the communication device is active, the dielectric resonator comprising a puck having a distal surface and a proximal surface that is located within a cavity defined by at least one conductive wall, wherein the puck does not contact the at least one conductive wall; a temperature compensation structure having an internal surface, an external surface that transfers the generated heat away from the dielectric resonator by having the internal surface in contact with the proximal surface of the puck, and an elongated extension having a long axis perpendicular to the proximal surface of the puck, wherein the internal surface of the temperature compensation structure and the proximal surface of the puck have substantially equal surface areas; and a support adjacent to the temperature compensation structure that receives the transferred heat from the external surface of the temperature compensation structure, wherein the support contacts the at least one conductive wall and has a vertical axis perpendicular to a horizontal axis in the puck.
