Abstract
A microwave oven has an oven cavity with a wall ( ) formed with a hole ( ) covered on an external side of the wall by a metal launch box ( ) and choke plate ( ). A metal match plate ( ) is mounted on the internal side of the wall ( ) so that the match plate ( ) and the launch box ( ) form a launch cavity for delivering microwave energy to the cavity. The choke plate ( ) has a peripheral choke channel which prevents leakage of microwave energy between the launch box ( ) and choke plate ( ), enabling the choke plate ( ) and match plate ( ) to be bolted to the wall ( ).
