摘要
Microwave heating has been widely used and the heating uniformity is related to the characteristics of electric field. In this paper, we investigate the stability of electric field in a multimode microwave cavity by analyzing the spectrum and the condition number of integral equation. Results show that the stability of the electric field is mainly dependent on microwave frequency, the permittivity of heating object and cavity geometrical parameters. Particularly, when the heating object has a low loss factor, the electric field is generally unstable. Namely, a tiny shift of the parameters mentioned above will result in dramatic changes of electric field distribution. Besides, the instability of the electric field increases with the lower loss, the higher microwave frequency or the larger permittivity of the heating object.
