Abstract

L'invention concerne un four à micro-ondes (50) qui comprend un guide d'ondes (3) comprenant une première partie de propagation et une seconde partie de propagation, ainsi qu'une paire d'ouvertures formées sur une surface latérale d'une chambre de chauffage (1), les ouvertures assurant une communication entre le guide d'ondes (3) et la chambre de chauffage (1). La première partie de propagation transmet des micro-ondes vers la chambre de chauffage (1) et la seconde partie de propagation transmet les micro-ondes en parallèle à la chambre de chauffage (1). Les ouvertures comprennent une première ouverture (4a) et une seconde ouverture (4b), des ondes à polarisation circulaire étant générées. La première ouverture (4a) est formée de telle sorte qu'au moins une partie de la première ouverture (4a) chevauche une région de projection de section transversale (3c) délimitée en projetant virtuellement une section transversale de la première partie de propagation orthogonale à l'axe du tube de la première partie de propagation sur la surface latérale de la chambre de chauffage (1) le long de l'axe du tube de la première partie de propagation. Des ondes à polarisation circulaire ou des ondes à polarisation elliptique sont ainsi générées de façon plus fiable à l'aide d'un guide d'ondes compact.
