Abstract
A microwave treatment device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a heating chamber, a microwave generator, an amplifier, a feeder, a detector, a controller, and a storage. The microwave generator generates a microwave having an arbitrary frequency in a predetermined frequency band. The amplifier amplifies the microwave and outputs the amplified microwave as incident microwave power. The feeder supplies the incident microwave power to the heating chamber. The detector detects the incident microwave power and reflected microwave power that returns from the heating chamber to the feeder. The storage stores the incident microwave power and the reflected microwave power in association with the frequency of the microwave and time elapsed since the start of heating. The controller causes the microwave generator to execute a frequency sweep over the predetermined frequency band.
