Abstract

A seal on a door for a microwave oven. The seal is a resonant cavity extending along the flange of the oven. The resonant cavity has an offset inlet facing the flange with a dimension less than 2/3 of the distance to the center of the cavity. The cavity is further interrupted at intervals less than 1/2 of the microwave wavelength. A dielectric cover fills the inlet and has projections into the cavity on either side of the inlet.
