2. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

   A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to vibrate [ 2 ] and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating .

3. Microwave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

   A microwave oven passes microwave radiation at a frequency near 2.45 GHz (12 cm) through food, causing dielectric heating primarily by absorption of the energy in water. Microwave ovens became common kitchen appliances in Western countries in the late 1970s, following the development of less expensive cavity magnetrons. Water in the liquid ...

4. ISM radio band - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_radio_band

   The bands are still widely used for these purposes. For many people, the most commonly encountered ISM device is the home microwave oven operating at 2.45 GHz which uses microwaves to cook food. Industrial heating is another big application area; such as induction heating, microwave heat treating, plastic softening, and plastic welding processes.

5. L band - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_band

   The Global Positioning System carriers are in the L band, centered at 1176.45 MHz (L5), 1227.60 MHz (L2), 1381.05 MHz (L3), and 1575.42 MHz (L1) frequencies. L band waves are used for GPS units because they are able to penetrate clouds, fog, rain, storms, and vegetation.

6. Mean opinion score - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_opinion_score

   Mean opinion score (MOS) is a measure used in the domain of Quality of Experience and telecommunications engineering, representing overall quality of a stimulus or system.. It is the arithmetic mean over all individual "values on a predefined scale that a subject assigns to his opinion of the performance of a system quality".

7. Microwave radiometer - Wikipedia

   Review articles, [7] [8] and a detailed online handbook [9] are available. Microwave spectrum: The black lines show the simulated spectrum for a ground-based receiver; the colored lines are the spectrum obtained from a satellite instrument over the ocean measuring at horizontal (blue) and vertical (red) linear polarization.
