The anatomy of an organic microwave generator

+0
−0

I have a concept for a species of arctic-dwelling organism (let's just call it a polar bear) that evolved an organ that was able to produce microwaves, which it uses to tunnel through ice.

If such a thing is possible, my question is: which already-existing organ(s) would evolve into this new organ (like how electrocytes evolved from muscle cells in electric eels), what organic structures and processes would develop inside this organ, and what ramifications would this have on the organism's physiology? As in, how would its body change in order to cope with this new organ?
