LOAD MATCHING IN MULTIMODE MICROWAVE-HEATING APPLICATORS BASED ON THE USE OF DIELECTRIC-LAYER MOULDING WITH COMMERCIAL MATERIALS

摘要

Commercial dielectric materials placed around a sample are studied as load-matching elements for multimode microwave-heating applicators. The dimensions of these dielectric materials are optimized with an iterative procedure in order to achieve high-power efficiency, thus enhancing electric-field deposition within the sample.
