Waveguide bandstop filter based on irises and double corrugations for use in industrial microwave ovens

In this reported work it is shown that one of the most employed filtering systems for use in continuous-flow industrial microwave ovens, namely doubly corrugated filters, does not work properly for many values of the electric permittivity of the processed material when it is partially filled. Thus,...

Sumario:In this reported work it is shown that one of the most employed filtering systems for use in continuous-flow industrial microwave ovens, namely doubly corrugated filters, does not work properly for many values of the electric permittivity of the processed material when it is partially filled. Thus, a novel bandstop filter which solves these inconveniences, based on a combination of metallic irises and double corrugations, is designed by means of CST Microwave Studio® and experimentally validated.
