Abstract

Design of a cylindrical waveguide applicator with a uniform power density distribution over the available cross sections is described.  The applicator consists of an annular layer of loss-less dielectric placed in contact with the walls of a circular waveguide.  The dielectric concern of this layer is higher than that of the material to be heated and a suitable thickness leading to a uniform power density distribution can be calculated.
