Theoretical Insights Manifested by Wave Mechanics Theory of Microwave Absorption

The wrong theory of impedance matching theory has dominated microwave absorption research for a long time because it was believed that the theory was supported by experimental reports over the years and transmission line theory which is fundamental in electromagnetism. Thus, when the correct wave mechanics theory for microwave absorption opposing impedance theory was recently developed, pointed out that the wrong theory involved a misunderstanding of transmission line theory, and in fact the published experimental data disproved the theory rather than supporting it, the wrong theory still dominates the field and material scientists are reluctant to acknowledge the new theory. Further evidence is demonstrated here that in contrast to impedance matching theory, the new wave mechanics theory rediscovers the real microwave absorption mechanism that had already been revealed by transmission line theory and now has been developed further with many new concepts. This work also reveals that theoretical research is important to correct the wrong conclusions obtained from experimental observations.
