Abstract :
Synthesis of microwave field patterns by interference of frequency coherent, phase modulated signals is proposed as a novel technique for dielectric heating. Particular delay/phase differences result in a distinct set of base patterns. Weighted and averaged the desired heat patterns are then synthesized. Alongside, a unified, clearer large signal source model for injection locking is introduced
