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

Why Do Microwaves Heat Things So Quickly?

Microwaves produce a phenomenon called volumetric heating.  Simply stated, they heat the entire mass of an object uniformly.  This is because the microwave penetrated deeply into the object instead of just acting on the surface.  Volumetric heating is unique to microwaves; almost all other forms of heating are conductive, where heat is applied to the surface of

How “Green” Are Microwave Drying Systems?

Very few drying technologies can approach microwave systems for positive environmental impact.  In fact, in most cases environmental permitting is not required.  Let’s consider the common types of possible emissions and examine how microwave system measure up. Combustion Products such as NOx and COx: This is simple. There is no combustion in a microwave system
