What is the unit of measurement for the power of a microwave oven?
The power of a microwave oven is almost always expressed in watts.
What are the features of microwave communication?
high directivity high beam width low power transmitter is needed
how are microwaves radiation produced?
High power (microwave ovens, communication satellites, etc) are generated by magnetrons (used in microwave ovens), klystrons, traveling-wave tubes (TWT), and gyrotrons. Low power uses are generated by transistor oscillators (usually FETs).
What is the difference between a commercial and a regular microwave?
The commerical microwave has more power then a regular microwave which has a smaller level of power.
How much power does a microwave run?
It depends, oist microwaves are rated in watts, a measurement of power usage. The lowest a microwave could be is a 300watt rating. I'm not sure of the highest bur mine is a 950watt. 1 watt is equal to one joule of energy a second. So a 950 watt microwave converts 950 joules of electricity into microwaves every second.
When was International Microwave Power Institute created?
International Microwave Power Institute was created in 1966.
How do you get to GE microwave to microwave mode?
meaning of power 10
Does the power affect microwave?
does the power of a microwave affect how long it take to cook popcorn
What electromagnetic waves do microwave ovens use?
The cooking space in a microwave oven is a resonent cavity filled with a plain old radio signal at an incredible power level. Even though none of it is supposed to leak out of the cavity, it's still required to operate at its assigned frequency. The FCC has set aside a sliver of spectrum called the 'ISM' band, meaning "industrial, scientific, and medical", for use by these radio devices that don't care about interference from others of their kind because they're not used for communication. The band is near the frequency of 2.5 GHz (gigahertz), which has a wavelength of 12 centimeters (about 4.7 inches). Just a few words about the power level inside the microwave oven: Until a few years ago, there used to be a sliver of spectrum right near the ISM band that was used for microwave radio communication. The most common use for that band was for microwave links between a TV station and its transmitting tower ... to send the video and audio from the studio to the tower for broadcast. It was also used to send the on-the-spot news shots by microwave from the helicopter to the studio. That kind of operation typically used a microwave transmitter with an output power somewhere between 1 watt and 5 watts, which is plenty of power to carry a clean, solid, noise-free microwave signal anywhere it needs to go. Actually, when you do the math, it turns out that with the antennas and receivers available today, a microwave link can deliver data, voice, or video something like 2,000 miles, with one watt (+30 dBm) of power coming out of the transmitter. Hold that thought ... 1 watt of microwave power. The microwave oven in your kitchen most likely shoots 1,000 to 2,000 watts of "cooking power" into the little cubby where you put the soup bowl. Now you know why it's so important to have the door closed any time the microwave is running, and so important to make sure the door is never damaged. It's really important to have a good RF seal, so none of that radio power leaks out. That would be dangerous, and you really have no need for a weather-radar in your kitchen.
What is the largest microwave oven ever produced?
The C-Max Microwave Oven has 1200 watts of power which I believe is the most power of any microwave oven.
What's a good power range for a microwave?
Standard microwave power ranges between 800 and 1200 watts. anonymous@oola.com
Why vacuum tubes are not preferred at microwave?
Actually three special purpose vacuum tubes were specifically designed for microwave usage and are in some cases still the least expensive way to work with high power microwave signals.These vacuum tubes are:cavity magnetron (first designed in WW2 for use in military RADARs, still used in some RADAR systems and as the microwave radiation source in all microwave cookers)klystron (still used in satellite communication, medical microwave equipment, and particle accelerators)traveling wave tube (still used in satellite communication, RADAR systems, and the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing industry for immunity testing of electronic devices)
