Abstract

A single mode microwave resonant cavity used for materials heating is simulated using the FDTD method. The simulation includes both the resonant cavity structure and the input microwave power coupling structure. An overlapping grid method with interpolation between the conformal grid systems developed for each section of the microwave system is used to simulate geometrically complex microwave structures. Comparisons of the FDTD solution for a simplified, lossy-loaded cavity is made with a known analytical solution.
