How to make a radio frequency heating apparatus?

[vaibhava]

Hi! I need to carry out radio frequency heating (heating by radio waves) for a reaction.
Can anyone please help me design a circuit for that?

...a microwave?

...a microwave?

Yes. Something like that only. But with waves of a frequency smaller than that of microwaves.
I came across a paper in which they kept the reaction mixture between the two electrodes, placed 15 cm apart, and connected them to an RF generator. I am trying to figure out what an RF generator is and what is its construction like.
Can you please help me out with this?

Why don't you find the paper and contact the authors about it as a first step?

I just googled it quickly, and it looks like an RF generator is a general name for a device which makes radiowaves.
I would guess that radio frequency heating would require a very powerful source of radiowaves (since a microwave oven uses very intense microwaves).
