Resonant Microwave Power Absorption in Slabs

Pages 33-41 | Received 22 Nov 1996, Accepted 27 Oct 1998, Published online: 14 Jun 2016
 

Abstract

Resonant microwave power absorption is examined for slabs exposed to TEM waves from both faces and for a slab placed on a reflecting support. Using the electric field distribution in the slab, the average power is obtained by integrating the spatially distributed power across the sample length. Due to constructive interference of the standing waves within the sample, the average power rises to a local maximum during a resonance. Irrespective of the material, resonances occur at integral values of L/λs when the slab is exposed to radiation from both faces and at L/λs, = 0.5n-0.25 when placed on a reflecting support.
