Abstract

A relationship between the quality factor, Q, and the size of a radiating system is used to determine the narrowest peak that may exist in the leakage from a microwave oven. The relationship predicts that null-to-null separations as small as 6.1 cm can be expected at 2450 MHz. Experimental results are presented to show that null-to-null separations of this distance are encountered in microwave oven leakage tests.
