Abstract: An apparatus includes a chamber configured to support a number of quasi-orthogonal resonant modes, and at least one antenna assembly, where the antenna assembly includes an antenna having a radiating element, where (i) the antenna has predominantly linear polarization of radiation defined by a polarization plane, (ii) the radiating element is disposed within the chamber such that the polarization plane is not parallel and not perpendicular to the plane containing a primary axis of the chamber and a central point of the radiating element, and (iii) each antenna is coupled to the chamber through a designated surface of the chamber and coupled to a source of microwave or radio frequency energy external to the chamber having a nominal operating frequency.
