Abstract
A microwave sterilization system including a microwave oven having a microwave source that produces microwave radiation. The oven encloses a first chamber and a second chamber. Each chamber has a pouch containing an object and is positioned therein so as to be exposed to the microwave radiation, wherein each pouch has an interior which contains the object corresponding to that pouch. The system further includes a sensor system for detecting the temperatures of said both interiors and produces signals representative of those temperatures. Those signals are sent to the microwave source so as to control the emission of microwave radiation from the microwave source.
