We have tested a series of high-Q photonic band gap (PBG) resonant cavities in the mm-wave regime and achieved a cavity-Q of 2.3{times}10{sup 4}, the highest value reported among all two- and three-dimensional PBG cavities. We have also systematically varied the size and reflectivity of such cavities to study their effect on cavity properties such as cavity modal frequency, linewidth, and cavity Q value. We show that the resonant frequencies can be tuned throughout the PBG regime and that linewidths (or equivalently Q value) can be varied over two orders of magnitude (i.e., a Q value from {approximately}2.7{times}10{sup 2} to 2.3{times}10{sup 4}). {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
