ABSTRACT:
A microwave processing system is disclosed. The system is particularly useful for concurrently controlling a plurality of chemical reactions from a single microwave source. The system comprises a source that produces electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range; a waveguide in communication with the source and into which the source propagates microwave radiation; a resonator in communication with the waveguide; and an adjustable dynamic moderating device between the waveguide and the resonator for moderating the wave energy passing from the waveguide to the resonator without substantially changing the propagated mode in the waveguide.
