Yes, but the answer is VERY long and depends on the MODE of
excitation of the cavity resonator. Depending on the dimensions
of the cavity and the excitation point - and kind of coupling - there
could be 6 to 8 different EM field configurations. You will have to
consult a microwave components basic text to learn about the
various modes in a cavity...and the ways to couple RF energy
into the cavity to achieve each mode.

I am not being evasive here. The answer is NOT a simple one.
The 1 to 2 GHz frequency range is a sort of "transition" from
lumped constants (conventional resistors, capacitors, inductors)
to "distributed constants," where the Fields and Waves and their
excitation-pickoff dominate...on up to the top of microwaves.

It's been about 30 years since I was really active in microwaves
from 1 to 25 GHz and I'm a bit rusty on that...but the ways it
is handled remains the same and found in many textbooks,
old to new. My particular "bible" on microwave structures is
"Microwave Filters, Impedance-Matching Networks, And
Coupling Structures," by George Matthaei, Leo Young, and
E.M.T.Jones, McGraw-Hill 1964.
