Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for chokes for microwave radiation. One embodiment is an apparatus that includes a choke assembly. The assembly includes a first choke plate, and a second choke plate. The assembly also includes a first layer disposed at a surface of the first choke plate. The first layer includes a material that attenuates microwave radiation via dielectric heating by converting the microwave radiation into heat, and a substance, disposed between the material of the first layer and the gap, that is transparent to the microwave radiation. The assembly further includes a second layer disposed at a surface of the second choke plate that faces the first layer. The second layer comprises the material that attenuates the microwave radiation via dielectric heating by converting the microwave radiation into heat, and the substance, disposed between the material of the second layer and the gap.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a choke assembly comprising: a first choke plate; a second choke plate that is positioned a distance away from the first choke plate, resulting in a gap between the first choke plate and the second choke plate; a first layer disposed at a surface of the first choke plate, the first layer comprising: a material that attenuates microwave radiation via dielectric heating by converting the microwave radiation into heat; and a sub…
