Abstract: A three-dimensional resonant chamber is described. The three-dimensional resonant chamber may support a plurality of circularly polarized modes at a desired frequency. The desired frequency may be in an ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) frequency band, such as in the 902 MHz-928 MHz or in the 2.4 GHz-2.5 GHz. The three-dimensional resonant chamber may include one or more openings for coupling electromagnetic radiation outside the three-dimensional resonant chamber. The three-dimensional resonant chamber may be disposed in a cavity, such as a microwave oven, and may be configured to excite the cavity through the one or more openings. The three-dimensional resonant chamber may be connected to a waveguide support a circularly polarized mode.
