Abstract

Abstract : Efficient methods for transducing electromagnetic energy into heat are explained. These methods make use of planar technologies such as microstrip and stripline, along with special ceramic materials developed by Microbiotech S.L. The electromagnetic fundamentals of the presented methods are stated, and the simulated and measured results are presented for each model. The efficiency of the transducers is analysed and compared with the state‐of‐the‐art, and finally the possibility of an array scheme for uniform heating purposes is pointed out.
