German term or phrase: einstellen in this context

I don't know how to translate "einstellen" in this context because I am not familiar with the vernacular in this field:
...wobei insbesondere eine Oberwelle der Grundschwingung des Mikrowellenresonators eingestellt ist.

My attempts thus far are:
... wherein in particular a harmonic is set to the fundamental frequency of the microwave resonator
... wherein in particular a harmonic is adjusted to the fundamental frequency of the microwave resonator
.... wherein in particular a harmonic is fit to the fundamental frequency of the microwave resonator

The text is from a patent. Thanks in advance for any help.

English translation:set/adjusted

Explanation:
I wouldn't use "fit", though. It's not the right verb for the context, in my opinion, and will also sound odd to readers outside the US who say "fitted".

Thanks, Phil. I had to turn this in a couple of days ago and I went with "adjusted".

Explanation:
Why not "tuned to"?

use them for tuning to select a narrow frequency range from ambient radio waves. In this role, the circuit is often referred to as a tuned circuit.

... a harmonic is tuned to (or adjusted to, or sychronized with) the fundamental frequency ...

Tuning became important for the development of radio broadcasts. Stations learned to broadcast at a specific frequency, and to share the bandwidth of the frequency spectrum. Thus radio receivers had to have circuitry to tune to a specific carrier frequency. This was accomplished by creating electronic filters which could accept specific frequency ranges, or tuned filters.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_filter

The verb tuning in radio contexts means adjusting the radio receiver to receive the desired radio signal carrier frequency that a particular radio station uses.

Abstract—This paper presents an in-depth, systematic study of the impact of input and output harmonics in the design of high efficiency power amplifiers (PAs). The study evaluates the performance of harmonically tuned amplifiers, tackling concurrently both input and output harmonics.

This is essentially due to the practical difficulties in tuning harmonics which reach very high frequencies. Indeed, a 2nd harmonic tuning with a fundamental at fo=20 GHz would require an output tuner capable of presenting very low.

Reference: higher harmonic of the fundamental

Reference information:
John, you've mistranslated the sentence. It should be:

"a higher harmonic (Oberwelle) *of* the microwave resonator's fundamental is set". The phrase should be "a higher harmonic of the fundamental". Sufficient to say "fundamental" which in wave theory refers to fundamental frequency. Oberwelle or Oberschwingung should be "higher harmonic" (to distinguish it from the first harmonic/fundamental or Grundschwingung).

Background info: any harmonic wave above the fundamental frequency is a higher harmonic (Oberwelle). The fundamental (f0 or f1) is the original wave or first harmonic. The higher harmonics are multiples of the frequency of this first harmonic. And so a wave with 2x the frequency of the fundamental is the second harmonic or the first higher harmonic (in German: zweite Oberwelle), and so on. The resonator will have a fundamental (frequency), say, 100 Hz. The succeeding harmonics then will be periodic at that fundamental: so the second harmonic will be 200 Hz, the third 300 Hz.

With regard to einstellen, it can be adjusted or set. Is this a patent? Then your invention probably refers to a mechanism that sets the fundamental...

HTH

It's ok. I don't care about the points. We need to fill the Proz glossary with correct answers.
