Sample movement optimization for uniform heating in microwave heating ovens
International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering, 2007 A technique for improving the uniformity of heating patterns of dielectric samples in a multimode cavity is presented based on a strategic movement of the sample inside the microwave applicator. Different optimisation algorithms are compared to determine the best microwave irradiation period for each sample position.
