Original Abstract Submitted
a microwave processing device of the present disclosure is provided with a heating chamber, a microwave generating unit, an amplifying unit, a power supply unit, a detecting unit, a control unit, and a storage unit. the microwave generating unit generates microwave having an optional frequency in a predetermined frequency band. the amplifying unit amplifies an output level of the microwave. the power supply unit radiates the microwave amplified by the amplifying unit into the heating chamber as incident electric power. the detecting unit detects reflected electric power, which returns to the power supply unit from the heating chamber, from among the incident electric power. the control unit controls the microwave generating unit and the amplifying unit. the storage unit stores a value of the reflected electric power, together with a frequency of the microwave and an elapsed time from the start of heating. the control unit controls the microwave generating unit and the amplifying unit based on a calculated value obtained by calculation with reference to the reflected electric power.
