Different optimisation algorithms are compared to determine the best microwave irradiation period for each sample position. A new optimisation procedure that minimizes electric field variance is also presented and assessed. %K Teoría de la Señal y las Comunicaciones %K Optimisation procedure %K Uniform microwave-assisted heating %K Multimode oven %K Sample movement %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
