Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3784003A1] Microwave heating device (50) includes: heating chamber (2) to accommodate heating target object (1); magnetron (3) to generate a microwave; waveguide (10) to transmit the microwave generated by the microwave generating unit to heating chamber 2; and directional coupler (6) including a reflected-wave detection unit to detect a part of a reflected wave. Directional coupler (6) is disposed at the position of antinode (302) of standing wave (301) that occurs inside waveguide (10). The present configuration makes possible an increase in detection accuracy of the reflected wave, resulting in more accurate detection of the state of object (1) being heated.
