Abstract

In a high-mode microwave resonator for high-temperature treatment of materials, the resonator comprises a housing with a polygonal cross-section formed by planar housing wall segments and planar end walls. One of the end walls includes an in-coupling window arranged so as to direct a microwave beam into the resonator at an angle with respect to the housing axis and toward an edge between adjacent wall segments such that the microwave beam is divided, upon reflection, into two symmetrical beam components which, upon further reflection, provide for an essentially homogeneous field distribution throughout the resonator interior.
