Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5318740
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Apparatus is disclosed for heating with microwave energy utilizing nonresonant means for converting and transforming free space plane waves within the oven enclosure into fringing electric field patterns to brown or sear the load surfaces similar to broiling. One embodiment comprises parallel abutting plates with alternate plates of a high dielectric constant material to provide a predetermined phase lag and with the intervening low dielectric constant sections to provide alternating fringing electric fields, illustratively, in the pi or any other desired mode pattern. Alternate embodiments include microwave strip transmission lines comprising conductive strips separated by a dielectric substrate to couple and convert the free space waves into the desired heating mode pattern. A load supporting shelf within the microwave oven may be readily adapted to include the alternating dielectric materials to provide the desired fringing electric field patterns. Conveyer belts may also be adapted to incorporate browning surface means by strips of a high dielectric material on the belt material. Further embodiments include microwave oven enclosures radiated by horn means which may be cross-polarized, as well as, the combination of horn radiators coupled to microwave browning plates.
