Abstract:Microwave systems are widely used for heating applications, mainly domestic food heating. The microwave oven sales figures place it as the first domestic appliance, giving its core element, the magnetron, an unbeatable production cost margin. However, recent improvements in RF highpower generator manufacturing have pointed out not only the limitations of these systems based on the magnetron but also the main benefits of the transistors technology.Nowadays, solid-state power amplifiers are mature enough to comp… Show more
