InactiveUS20070068939A1Reduces and even eliminates undesirable effectReduces and eliminates burningBaking ovenHigh-frequency/infra-red heating bakingCapacitanceMicrowave effect
An apparatus, system, and method, for using circular mode magnetic microwave energy to heat the product in a continuous microwave process. The microwaves are generated and transmitted as rectangular waveguide mode microwave energy, and are converted by mode converters to circular magnetic mode microwave energy. As circular magnetic mode microwave energy, the microwave energy passes through a material and is reflected on the other side back into the material, thus traveling through the material a second time. Reflected microwave energy from the main reflected wave as well as reflections from other structures, surfaces and layers in the system travel back toward the microwave source. They are sensed, and a computer tuning system causes capacitive probes to generate offsetting microwave reflections, which are opposite in phase and equal in magnitude to the sum of all of the reflected waves. These induced reflections cancel and negate the reflected microwaves, resulting in optimum utilization of microwave energy to heat the product.
