Microwave treatment device

A microwave treatment device (1), comprising:

• a microwave emission device, by which microwave radiation can be radiated into a treatment chamber (2) or emitted therein,
• wherein the microwave emission device comprises
• at least one array antenna (7) having a plurality of patch antennas (8), and
• a microwave control device (9) by which an emission characteristic can be specified for each individual emitter (8) of the at least one array antenna (7), and
• wherein a phase of a microwave emission can be specified for each patch antenna (8) by the microwave control device (9),
• wherein the microwave control device (9) comprises a phase shifter for each patch antenna, for changing and adjusting the phase of an electromagnetic wave supplied to the respective patch antenna, and
• wherein the treatment chamber (2) comprises
• an inlet opening and an outlet opening for introducing and removing an object (5) to be treated, and
• a conveying device by which the object (5) to be treated can be conveyed through the inlet opening into the treatment chamber (2) and can be conveyed through the outlet opening and out of the treatment chamber (2).
