Effect of the load ports in industrial microwave ovens

Abstract

In this article, a structure formed by a rectangular applicator is under study. The applicator is partially loaded by a dielectric material in rectangular form. In order to simulate the applicator which is considering it as an element of the tunnel, two load-opening (entry and exit of load) have been cutted on the side walls of the applicator so that the dielectric load fills it and travels from the entry to the exit opening(load ports). The electric field distribution on the load and the reflection coefficient at the port are calculated to obtain effects of the load openings.
