The loop-gap resonator (LGR) was originally developed to provide a uniform microwave magnetic field on a sample for electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments. The LGR is composed of one or more loops and gaps acting as inductances and capacitances respectively. Typical LGR designs produce a uniform field on a sample at a single resonant frequency, but for certain experiments it is necessary to study the response of a material to uniform fields at multiple frequencies applied simultaneously. In this work we develop an empirical design procedure using finite element method calculations to design an asymmetric loop-gap resonator with uniform fields at two frequencies in the same sample volume and analyze the field uniformity, frequency tunability and filling factors, providing comparison to a manufactured device.
