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.

Selected
set/adjusted
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".

: A bit late but we refer always to the "natural frequency" of something - "whereby a specific harmonic is adjusted to the natural frequency of the microwave resonator"

Why not "tuned to"?

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.

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.

higher harmonic of the fundamental
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...

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavity_Perturbation_Theory
When a resonant cavity is perturbed, e.g. by introducing a foreign object with distinct material properties into the cavity or when the shape of the cavity is changed slightly, electromagnetic fields inside the cavity change accordingly. The underlying assumption of cavity perturbation theory is that electromagnetic fields inside the cavity after the change differ by a very small amount from the fields before the change. Then Maxwell's equations for original and perturbed cavities can be used to derive expressions for the resulting resonant frequency shift.
___
If you want a plug-in: a harmonic (of the fundamental frequency of the microwave resonator) is resulted.
More English: a frequency shift to a harmonic is induced
