A technique for improving the uniformity of heating patterns of dielectric samples in a multimode cavity is presented based on a strategic movement of the sample inside the microwave applicator. Different optimization algorithms are compared to determine the best microwave irradiation period for each sample position. A new optimization procedure that minimizes electric field variance is also presented and assessed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2007.
