The effect of microwave enhancement on combustion was investigated using a spherical, constant-volume combustion chamber. Microwave energy at 2.45 GHz was coupled into the spherical chamber using a quarter-wavelength dipole antenna. Standing waves of high-strength electrical fields were created to enhance the flames ignited by a spark plug. Pressure traces of combustion with and without microwaves were recorded to compare the combustion improvements. Microwave power levels and discharge durations were also varied to understand their impact on the level of improvement. Results indicated that the microwave system can effectively accelerate combustion and improve cycle stability for dilute combustion, including lean burn at about 0.8 equivalence ratio and stoichiometric operation with 20% exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) dilution
