The typical method for calculating this field-dependent surface resistance R_{s}(H) from RF measurements of quality factor Q₀ implicitly returns a weighted average of R_{s} over the surface as a function of peak surface magnetic field H, not the true value of R_{s} as a function of the local magnitude of H. In this work we present a computational method to convert a measured Q₀ vs. H_{peak} to a more accurate R_{s} vs. H_{local}, given knowledge about cavity geometry and field distribution.
