MULTIMODE MICROWAVE CAVITIES FOR MICROWAVE HEATING SYSTEMS

摘要

The present invention pertains to a new, smaller multimode cavity which may be used as a threadline heater fed by a variety of coupling structures or it may be used to advantage as a means for coupling energy to a larger cavity. The cavity consists of four side walls and two end walls with a number of spaced metallic vanes placed within the cavity transverse to the desired electric field forming a multimode cavity having a number of small resonators which may be tuned in any conventional manner such as by simple bolt.
