Abstract :
Radiofrequency and microwave heating spanning the frequency range 10-3000 MHz has, long since its birth just after the Second World War, embraced areas such as industry, catering, domestic and medicine. The author shows that the advantages of RF and microwaves (such as volumetric heating, rapid and selective heating, compactness of equipment and ease of operation) offer sound economic alternative heating techniques
