Industrial Microwaves: Magnetron Tubes vs. Solid State

Historically, every microwave heating device, from a home microwave oven to a large industrial system, has been powered by a magnetron tube. First developed in the 1940s, and have remained functionally the same ever since. But many say that solid state is the microwave technology of the future, especially when it comes to drying and

Electromagnetic Simulation of Antenna Performance Solid-State Microwaves

The advent of high-power solid-state microwave technology makes possible the use of coaxial transmission lines and unconventional antenna configurations, something not previously possible when using magnetrons at ISM frequencies without expensive, lossy waveguide-to-coaxial adapters. With this in mind, computer simulations of microwave heating models can serve as valuable tools in the development and control of
