Microwave Energy Powers Many Industrial Applications (.PDF Download)

April 10, 2017

Microwave energy is well known (and appreciated) by anyone who has used a microwave oven to heat a meal. Such application of high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) radiation for the dielectric heating of materials is also one of the most widely adopted industrial uses for RF/microwave components and systems. Industrial microwave heating systems operate within the unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency bands set aside by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for industrial applications in the U.S., such as 915 and 2450 MHz, to prevent interference with other frequency bands...
