Experimental Research about Adjusting the Exposure Time and Power Level of Microwaves for Industrial Applications

Abstract:

This paper shows some possibilities to adjust the exposure time and output power of a given microwave device according to the process to be executed, taking into account the special operating conditions of the magnetrons and the efficiency of the microwave device. Since the exposure time is rather easy to set by means of timers, the microwave power level is difficult to modify because of the magnetron requirements voltage, current, magnetic field which must be carefully observed in order to ensure reliable operation. The research has been carried out at the University of Oradea and INCDTIM Cluj-Napoca, during the activities of the Microwave Collective of the University of Oradea and during the preparation of the doctoral thesis of Mr.Ursu.
