Matching the microwave-oven chamber to the magnetron

Resumo

It is shown that a more efficient use of microwave energy of a source operating into a nonstandard load is possible. As an example, a magnetron operating into a microwave-oven chamber is discussed. Calculation of a matching device with the variation in the amount of food placed in the oven chamber taken into account is presented. The improvement in matching has been experimentally validated by a physical model.
