9D-RG-14634 MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY EXCITATION SYSTEM PROVIDING CONTROLLED ELECTRIC FIELD SHAPE FOR UNIFORMITY OF ENERGY DISTRIBUTION ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A microwave oven cavity excitation system for promoting time-averaged uniformity of microwave energy distribution within the cooking cavity. Circularly- polarized microwave energy is radiated from a feed waveguide into an adjacent cooking cavity by means of an aperture, such as an X-slot, in the feed waveguide properly electrically located laterally within the feed waveguide so as to nominally radiate an electric field having circular polarization properties and, overall, shaped as an approximate hemisphere. A cross- sectional slice of the field, for example in the plane of the food supported on a conventionally-located shelf, is circular in shape. The radiating X-slot is control- lably and selectively electrically moved laterally with respect to the waveguide centerline with the result that the sectional shape of the resulting field changes from circular to elliptical, with the degree and orient- ation of the ellipse depending upon the direction and degree of movement of the coupling aperture with res- pect to the waveguide centerline. The shape of the field is constantly varied through various elliptical configurations during operation, to provide the desired time-averaged uniformity of energy distribution through a suitably-programmed controller.
