Abstract :
The theory of leaky-wave antennas, suitably modified, is applied for the evaluation of the field intensity induced in a lossy medium by two applicator schemes, the grounded dielectric layer and the channel guide. The comparison of calculated and measured results confirm the effectiveness of the leaky-wave approach for the analysis of such microwave power applicators.
