Hi everyone.
I want to create high-powered microwave output by combining multiple magnetrons.
Currently I'm stuck with a problem that simply attaching a second magnetron to a waveguide doesn't work. It seriously increases heating of both magnetrons compared to running my setup with one magnetron attached. Even when second is unpowered, first one heats substantially.
I'm asking you for any advices, articles or books containing information how to properly build waveguide and power combine multiple magnetrons. Preferably something with details on geometry calculation - proper placing of magnetrons, waveguide interconnections, etc.
