Abstract
A microwave heating apparatus for heating disc-shaped loads of variable water content wherein the energy is introduced by way of a sonde antenna connected to a coaxial cable, the disc-shaped load is positioned at the axial center of the chamber, and the apparatus is dimensioned to produce TO011 wave patterns, TM010 wave patterns, or a combination thereof, depending upon the dielectric constant of the load. The positioning means for the load may be connected to an external balance for continuously weighing the load.
