The procedure consists of 10 iteratively moving the sample within the microwave oven until a maximum average temperature increment is detected across the 11 sample. A new experimental set-up consisting of a multimode microwave cavity, a dielectric tracking system, a microwave power 12 source and a thermographic camera has been built and tested. Results show that it is possible to find optimal positions for the 13 sample within the oven for which microwave power transfer to the sample is maximized KW - Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones KW - Sample optimal location KW - Termographic Measurements KW - Heating process efficienc KW - Microwave Oven Optimization LA - eng PB - Elsevier Science ER -
