Development of Microwave Heating Setups with Electromagnetic Field Multislot Excitation Systems

Electrodynamics and thermal characteristics of resonator microwave heating setups with distributed multislot electromagnetic field excitation systems are investigated. Such devices allow improving the uniformity of thermal field in a sample exposed by electromagnetic radiation without application of mechanical motion of processed material. Complex theoretical and experimental studies of the electric field pattern system in rectangular resonator chamber with different multislot excitation and partially loaded with dielectric material are carried out. Results of analysis allow defining perspectives of using distributed excitation systems in microwave power engineering.
