2. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

   Globally. A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to vibrate [2] and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating. Microwave ovens heat foods quickly and ...

3. Microwave transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_transmission

   Microwave transmission is the transmission of information by electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the microwave frequency range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz (1 m - 1 mm wavelength) of the electromagnetic spectrum. Microwave signals are normally limited to the line of sight, so long-distance transmission using these signals requires a series of ...

4. Microwave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

   A microwave oven passes microwave radiation at a frequency near 2.45 GHz (12 cm) through food, causing dielectric heating primarily by absorption of the energy in water. Microwave ovens became common kitchen appliances in Western countries in the late 1970s, following the development of less expensive cavity magnetrons. Water in the liquid ...

5. RF and microwave filter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_and_microwave_filter

   RF and microwave filter. Radio frequency (RF) and microwave filters represent a class of electronic filter, designed to operate on signals in the megahertz to gigahertz frequency ranges (medium frequency to extremely high frequency). It is component that is used in electronic systems to pass or reject specific frequencies and attenuate of ...

6. Dielectric heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_heating

   A microwave oven uses dielectric heating to cook food.. Dielectric heating, also known as electronic heating, radio frequency heating, and high-frequency heating, is the process in which a radio frequency (RF) alternating electric field, or radio wave or microwave electromagnetic radiation heats a dielectric material.

7. Microwave cavity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_cavity

   A microwave cavity or radio frequency cavity (RF cavity) is a special type of resonator, consisting of a closed (or largely closed) metal structure that confines electromagnetic fields in the microwave or RF region of the spectrum. The structure is either hollow or filled with dielectric material. The microwaves bounce back and forth between ...
