I think the marketing term is "Inverter" for the switching microwaves. Have one in the Kitchen but I'm not allowed to disamble it till it's replaced. Label says 120V 12.7 amps made in china 2006.

The results are there: http://www.ko4bb.com/Test_Equipment/Microwave_oven_leakage/ In one word, dismal. Almost 1W peak power leakage at 1 foot, and almost 100MHz occupied bandwidth. I looked with a crystal detector driving a scope, and it is obvious the unit is driven from a 60Hz transformer with half wave rectification, and has no filtering whatsoever, like the first Microwave oven I have ever opened (a 20 years old model long dead).
