Abstract

An analytic approach is used for evaluation of the microwave power absorption profiles in a lossy dielectric cylinder coaxially aligned in a cylindrical cavity. This approach, based on a cylindrical shell model, also determines the normal mode frequencies and fields. Absorption profiles inside the sample will be presented for resonant modes that are intrinsically angular independent. In addition, results will be presented for special modes that are not intrinsically angular independent, but produce angular independent absorption for time average values. This new development broadens the class of modes that can be used in heating materials when isotropy about an axis is needed. We demonstrate how this model can extend the application of cavity perturbation theory for determining dielectric constants to cylinders of larger diameter. Implications of these results for microwave processing of materials are also discussed.
