Resize a microwave oven - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi,

I'm looking for ways to re-size a microwave oven (similar to a commercial domestic MW oven) for some food processing applications.

Assume: rectangular waveguide (a=9.5 cm, b= 5.5 cm); incident frequency: 2.45 GHz.

Suppose we fix two dimensions of the cavity and modify the length. The objective is to have minimum power reflection though the port (S11) so that maximum energy efficiency can be obtained. If we use RF calculator, we can have various cut-off frequencies depending on the modes. What should be the guidelines (cut-off frequency, modes etc) so that we can achieve the design objectives?

Thanks and regards,
FoodRF
