MICROWAVE TREATMENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18249407 titled 'MICROWAVE TREATMENT DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a microwave treatment device that uses a controller to select frequencies and control the output power level of microwaves in a heating chamber. The controller also measures the reflected wave frequency characteristic and calculates the power loss consumed by the heating chamber. It then estimates the absorption power absorbed by the heating target based on this power loss.
- Microwave treatment device with frequency selection and power control capabilities
- Controller selects frequencies and adjusts output power level of microwaves
- Measures reflected wave frequency characteristic to calculate power loss in heating chamber
- Estimates absorption power absorbed by heating target based on power loss calculation
Original Abstract Submitted
In a microwave treatment device according to the present disclosure, a controller selects a plurality of frequencies in a predetermined frequency band and causes a microwave generator to generate microwaves of a selected frequency. The controller causes the amplifier to change the output power level of the microwaves and to thereby supply the microwaves of one of a plurality of output power levels to the heating chamber. The controller measures a reflected wave frequency characteristic based on a radiated power and a reflected power. The controller calculates a linear component and a non-linear component of a power loss consumed by the heating chamber based on the reflected wave frequency characteristic. The controller estimates an amount of absorption power absorbed by a heating target based on the power loss obtained by combining the linear component and the non-linear component.
