English term or phrase: Microwave cavity

Hi dear technical and microwave experts! :)
Translating a manual for a microwave tunnel and not 100% sure of the German term for **microwave cavity** - something that gets repeated a lot throughout the text. In English, they use microwave cavity, MW cavity and cavity, it's all the same thing. Hohlraumresonator? Resonator? Kavität? Does anyone know something that is commonly used for this and won't be misunderstood?

Example sentences:

The TUNNEL consists of one **cavity** with 2 MW windows.
Opening doors allow access to the**cavity** for maintenance and cleaning.
The conveyor belt then continues underneath the **MW cavity**, drip-drying in the process.
If the level of reflected power is too high, check if the product absorbs the MW power and put more products inside the **MW cavity**.
This activity should be done with a fully loaded **cavity**, with minimum belt speed.

Zwar gibt es das gesuchte „Wort“ für sich allein betrachtet nicht her, aber „Durchlaufkammer“ wäre auch schön, da laut Referenztext ein Förderband involviert ist.

Hohlraumresonatoren (Cavities)
http://www-elsa.physik.uni-bonn.de/Lehrveranstaltungen/FP-E1...
A cavity resonator is one in which waves exist in a hollow space inside the device. In electronics and radio, microwave cavities consisting of hollow metal boxes are used in microwave transmitters, receivers and test equipment to control frequency, in place of the tuned circuits which are used at lower frequencies. Acoustic cavity resonators, in which sound is produced by air vibrating in a cavity with one opening, are known as Helmholtz resonators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonator#Cavity_resonators
Akustische Resonatoren (Luftschall) bestehen aus einem abgeschlossenen oder teilweise offenen Luftvolumen. Die Elastizität der Luft in einem Hohlraum führt zusammen mit der Massenträgheit der Luft zu bestimmten Resonanzfrequenzen. Der Helmholtz-Resonator ist ein teilweise offener Hohlraumresonator, ebenso wie ein einfaches Rohr (siehe auch Rijke-Rohr). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonator

Hohlraumresonator (Kavität)
Um die Teilchen im LHC zu beschleunigen werden Hohlraumresonatoren eingesetzt. Dabei werden in den Hohlräumen des Resonators, stehende elektromagnetische Wellen in Resonanz versetzt. Nach demselben Prinzip funktionieren auch die meisten Blasinstrumente wie z.B. eine Blockflöte, nur werden in diesem Fall Schallwellen in Resonanz mit dem Holz gebracht.
Die Beschleunigung von geladenen Teilchen in stehenden Mikrowellen, nutzt das Prinzip der Resonanzüberhöhung von elektromagnetischen Wellen in dafür abgestimmten Kavitäten. Passt die Resonanzfrequenz der Kavität exakt zur anregenden Frequenz, so entstehen durch Resonanzüberhöhung weit höhere Feldstärken, als die anregende Mikrowellenstrahlung allein besitzt. Das Teilchen erfährt durch diese Potentialdifferenz innerhalb der stehenden Mikrowelle eine Beschleunigung. Diese Art Beschleunigung ist vergleichbar mit einem Surfer, welcher durch eine Wasserwelle beschleunigt wird. http://www.lhc-facts.ch/index.php?page=kavitaet

Notes to answerer

Asker: "Hohlraumresonator" is the actual translation for "microwave cavity" (and of course I found this during my research, it's on Wikipedia, einfacher geht's nicht). My confusion throughout the work stemmed from the fact that the client used the term "microwave cavity" to describe not the generator that produces the microwaves, but the chamber where the microwaves treat whatever is loaded into the machine for defrosting or other purposes - which is why I provided various sample sentences showing this. Eventually the client explained to me that while it can be confusing to outsiders, staff working with the equipment would understand which cavity is meant, and that their customers (users of the equipment) sometimes in fact would use the word "chamber" to describe this unit. I am adding this comment to explain why I picked Mikrowellenkammer versus the Hohlraumresonator that springs to mind right away.

Asker: Thank you! Please also see my comment on the other translation suggestion (which isn't wrong per se, but wrong for the context/sample sentences provided).
