  2. Cavity magnetron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavity_magnetron

    The cavity magnetron is a high-power vacuum tube used in early radar systems and subsequently in microwave ovens and in linear particle accelerators. A cavity magnetron generates microwaves using the interaction of a stream of electrons with a magnetic field, while moving past a series of cavity resonators, which are small, open cavities in a ...

  3. Microwave chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_chemistry

    Microwave-specific effects tend not to be controversial and invoke "conventional" explanations (i.e. kinetic effects) for the observed effects. [19] Non-thermal microwave effects have been proposed in order to explain unusual observations in microwave chemistry. As the name suggests, the effects are supposed not to require the transfer of ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Microwave burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_burn

    The depth of penetration depends on the frequency of the microwaves and the tissue type. The Active Denial System ("pain ray") is a less-lethal directed energy weapon that employs a microwave beam at 95 GHz; a two-second burst of the 95 GHz focused beam heats the skin to a temperature of 130 °F (54 °C) at a depth of 1/64th of an inch (0.4 mm) and is claimed to cause skin pain without lasting ...

  6. Microwave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

    In 1945 Percy Spencer, an engineer working on radar at Raytheon, noticed that microwave radiation from a magnetron oscillator melted a candy bar in his pocket. He investigated cooking with microwaves and invented the microwave oven , consisting of a magnetron feeding microwaves into a closed metal cavity containing food, which was patented by ...

  7. Microwave spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_spectroscopy

    For insulating materials (both solid and liquid), [6] probing charge dynamics with microwaves is a part of dielectric spectroscopy.Amongst the conductive materials, superconductors are a material class that is often studied with microwave spectroscopy, giving information about penetration depth (governed by the superconducting condensate), [4] [7] energy gap (single-particle excitation of ...

  8. Microwave engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_Engineering

    Specialties include microwave and RF integrated circuit design, antenna engineering, computational electromagnetics, radiowave propagation, radar and remote sensing systems, image processing, and THz imaging. [5] [6] Tufts University offers a Microwave and Wireless Engineering certificate program as part of its graduate studies programs. It can ...

  9. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    In order to reduce failures, a precise knowledge of bond strength quality measurement during product design and subsequent manufacture is of vital importance. The best place to start is with the failure mode. This is based on the assumption that there is a particular failure mode, or range of modes, that may occur within a product.
