Abstract :
An automatic matching network has been implemented using a waveguide magic T with two sliding short circuit stubs which are adjusted by a microcontroller running a conjugate gradient algorithm. The inclusion of this device in an industrial heating system allows high energetic efficiency of the oven to be maintained despite changes in the load
