Abstract Several previous attempts
to enumerate the eigenmodes in empty rectangular cavities
by numerical computation have produced incorrect results, apparently due to a
misunderstanding regarding the partial distributions of TE and TM modes. A
brief review of the underlying physical principles involved in mode counting
is given, along with a presentation of an experimentally verified computer
algorithm which illustrates the theory. Revised and extended cavity design
tables have been compiled using this algorithm and are given. Numerical and
analytical mode distribution calculations are discussed in terms of their
utility in design and analysis of microwave heating cavities. |
