Abstract

The analysis and design of a cylindrical cavity for microwave heating applications, including the feeding mechanism is proposed in this paper. The cylindrical cavity design aims at the production of a uniform feld distribution, avoiding non-uniform heating and thermal runaway. The analysis of the device is based on the Mode Matching Technique. This has been proved to be an effcient and robust technique for the analysis of multiple discontinuities. The feeding structures maybe a circular, rectangular or coaxial waveguide. All quantities involved in the analysis are evaluated analytically achieving a fast and accurate method.
