This book deals with the EM analysis of closed microwave cavities based on a three-dimensional FDTD method. The EM analysis is carried out for (i) rectangular microwave ovens and (ii) hybrid-cylindrical microwave autoclaves at 2.45 GHz. The field distribution is first estimated inside domestic rectangular ovens in xy-, yz-, and zx-plane. Further, the RF leakage from the oven door is determined to study the effect of leakage radiation on wireless communication at 2.45 GHz. Furthermore, the EM analysis of the autoclave is carried out based on 3D FDTD using staircase approximation. In order to show the capability of autoclaves (excited with five source) for curing the aerospace components and materials, the field distribution inside autoclave cavity is studied in presence of aerospace samples. The FDTD based modelling of oven and autoclave are explained with the appropriate expressions and illustrations.

Presents the FDTD modeling of microwave ovens and industrial class of novel autoclave with complete mathematical derivations Helps researchers to determine the EM field distribution and temperature distribution across the aerospace samples kept inside the autoclave Explains the analysis of field distributions inside closed microwave cavities with sufficient colored graphs (92 nos.) and sketches, which help the reader understand the subject Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
