I have a regular 1.3 kW magenetron/launcher/stub tuner/waveguide to coax adapter in series and was dissatisfied with losses. (tuner worked perfectly) I am using the exposed (1/4 wave) coax core as a radiator/antenna for heating within a hole. Can a coax center-lead be connected to the magnetron...
I have 2 identical launchers and need 2 identical waveguide to coax adapters (all W340) I need 2 adapters to make dielectric measurements using a network analyser at 2.4 GHz. The retailer claims 10 weeks lead time for the adapters, so I thought I'd make them IF you guys say there wasn't anything...
I have two 2.45 GHz isolators, one with sma and the other with N connectors that go to probes in the body of the isolators. Are these probe outputs standard in the industry or can I only use a calibrated meter made by the same company as the isolator? Can I safely (rely-on)adapt from sma to N or...
If you take a short length of coax cable on a waveguide to coax adapter (large size coax, tbd), fed by a 1.2 kW 2.45 GHz magnetron and isolator, and trim the end to expose the correct length of center conductor, and then inserted that end into a volume of dielectric material; would the wave...
I plan to direct the output from an oven magnetron from a launcher/horn combination to dry wet soil as efficiently as possible. I have played with a couple of launchers, but despite an auto tuner showing no reflections, the (aircooled) magnetron overheats (over 100 C in a couple of minutes)...
Am I correct in assuming that if I employ an E sector horn (fed by magnetron) for heating a volume of material, it would do as good a job as if I used a pyramidal horn IF there were no ferritic or other material with magnetic susceptability in my target? Proper tuning and isolator are assumed...
I have a large Panasonic microwave (inverter) and since I check it for leaks using two meters (digital and diode/meter) in the usual way. Well, lately, suddenly, it started to put out an unsafe field from the mid-section of the door (7-10 mW/cm2 max.) that varies over the visible part of the...
I just examined a compact microwave oven and it had an odd pair of openings at the magnetron waveguide end. The waveguide funneled out and then the larger of the two openings was half covering the lower portion of the funnel and the second opening, about level with the magnetron, was almost a...
