Microwave theory

Microwave theory involves understanding how electromagnetic waves with high frequencies—called microwaves—are generated, transmitted, and received. These waves, similar to radio waves but with shorter wavelengths, can carry signals for communication, radar, and cooking. Microwaves are produced by devices like magnetrons or solid-state amplifiers and are directed through antennas. They reflect, refract, and can pass through materials, which makes them useful for various applications. The theory also includes how these waves interact with objects, how to control their propagation, and ensure efficient transmission with minimal loss or interference.
