Abstract

The characteristics of untuned cavities are determined for microwave processing of alumina. Alumina is a low-loss ceramic that is difficult to heat in the lower microwave region. System efficiency is determined as a function of cavity and workpiece size, frequency, and temperature. With operation at 28 GHz, a cavity applicator can be designed which is capable of generating uniform fields at high efficiency and with a reasonable size.
