Abstract
The design and performance of a novel microwave power applicator for thawing of frozen soils and similar outdoor applications in the construction industry is described. The applicator consists of an H-plane horn reflector terminated by a corrugated flange. The results of preliminary laboratory tests at low and high power levels indicate that the corrugated horn is quite effective for reducing the leakage levels and that the overall applicator is satisfactory for further development. Experimental data indicate that the application of microwave power for thawing of soil is favorable and could be used as a model for further applications in the construction industry.
