Abstract :
A comprehensive, critical review of applications of microwaves in industry, science, medicine and consumer services is given. A concise description of basic physical principles utilised in industrial, scientific, medical and domestic (ISM & D) applications of microwaves precedes an outline of characteristics of building blocks of circuitry employed. Numerous high-power and low-power applications are described. Potential health hazards, standards and safety considerations for these applications are also assessed.
