The axion is an excellent candidate for cold dark matter. In 1983, Sikivie \cite{Sikivie} proposed the scheme to detect axions using a resonant cavity inside high magnetic field. order in his scheme, we need scan range of frequencies where converted photon signal gets enhanced. This poster presents ways design frequency tuning system with conducting and dielectric materials cavity. simulation software package COMSOL Multiphysics was used evaluate effects on $Q$-factor form factor different configurations materials.
