About exciting passive circuits and magnetrons.
 

You maybe knowing your microwave's inner workings.
It uses a microwave valve which consists of LC chambers of 2.4 GHz.
And they are excited with a dc hv of must be 50 Hz.

Now we have two possibilities, the output is in trains or constant rf output.

Who of the hams here can messure that output ?

The transformer has a core bypass to handle the reactive load. There is
a power rectifier and a capacitor to (somewhat) smooth the 1KV output.
Still, magnetrons are sensitive to the cathode volts they see, so the
output varies somewhat in frequency and amplitude at line frequency.

So like a Teslacoil one is able to generate 2.4 GHz with strikes of only 50 Hz ?
How can the rf waves prolong so long ? A few cycles of 2.4 GHz o.k. but
it looks like almost a continues wave.
You try that on sw or mw. It should work even better there.

The messure of output in trains rf output with a dc hv of must be 50 Hz into
LC chambers of 2.4 GHz .
Then you maybe knowing your microwave's inner workings and cooking of your
hams may possible!

Hey OM:

Every time I looky his profile it changes, Gotta love those script
kinders.

My hams are honey baked spiral sliced. Hard to do with microwaves.
