Broad Catagories of Microwave Application
There are three main areas of microwave
application. The critical difference between each is the output
power and how this impacts design:
sensing(milliwatts)
communications(watts)
heating(kilowatts)
Heating applications can range from 1kW to 1MW,
however the largest single magnetron is 100kW and multiple units
are needed for high power applications.
