An Innovative Approach to Adapting Solid-State Microwave Technology: How Simulation Reduces Risk

Transforming Industrial Processes with Solid-State Microwave Processing: An Innovative Approach to Adapting Solid-State Microwave Technology

An Innovative Approach to Transforming Industrial Processes with Solid-State Microwave Processing Businesses face a critical challenge with traditional magnetron-based microwave systems. Every few thousand hours of operation, production stops for magnetron tube replacement. As these tubes age, power output gradually declines, creating inconsistency in product quality. Plant managers must coordinate specialized technicians for maintenance, often […]

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
