The AMPERE Newsletter

The AMPERE Newsletter appears quarterly and covers short topical articles written by experts in the field. Typically it also includes a profile, conference reports, advertisements, a calendar of events and news items on various aspects of radio frequency and microwave energy usage in the ISM frequency band, covering topics broadly from 1 MHz to 30 GHz, although higher frequencies have also been covered. It also highlights on promising new research developments to emanate from academe and industry.

Issue 56 Issue 56, published in April 2008, contains the following articles and reports. Editorial. HEPHAISTOS: Energy efficiency and innovation by microwave technology for the industrial production of composite materials. News and Events.

Editorial

In this issue we are highlighting the work on HEPHAISTOS carried out at Institute of Pulsed Power and Microwave Technology in Karlsruhe. This entails a modular microwave system line which shows an excellent homogeneous field distributions developed within a system that can replace the conventional autoclave technology. Dr Lambert Feher is a member of the Management Committee for AMPERE.

As the 1st Global Congress on Microwave Energy Applications is fast approaching I hope that most readers of this Newsletter are making arrangements to participate and contribute to its proceedings. For details see the Events section of this issue.

AMPERE’S 12TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN 2009 SWITCHES TO KARLSRUHE

Following the recent AMPERE Committee meeting in Leuven, Belgium it was decided to switch the venue of the 12th International AMPERE conference on Microwave and High Frequency Heating from Leuven to Karlsruhe. Therefore the organization and management of this conference will now be in the hands of Dr Lambert Feher whose work on HEPHAISTOS is described in the
following pages.

The Committee of Management of AMPERE is extremely grateful to Dr Lambert and his group for their willingness to undertake this task.
