The accuracy of the results obtained is presented together with a comparison of the results which are obtained by the HFSS numerical method. Optimization of the load location was performed in order to maximize the electrical field on the material. The principle of this optimization is based on finding the existence of the positions in which the reflection coefficient S-11 is the lowest. When the feeding guide for the two different microwave cavities was at the centre of the resonator, the change in the reflection coefficient distribution was detected according to the different positions of the material in the oven, and then the lowest positions were found. The changes in the electric field in the detected positions were recorded.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessScience & technologyTechnologyEngineering, electrical & electronicEngineeringArticle00041663690000671831410.2528/PIERM10061707
