Microwave ablation is a stand-alone therapy used to remove unhealthy tissues by locally increasing the temperature up to 60 - 70 °C, for a short time (a few minutes). The fundamental step in the development of microwave ablation systems is the antenna design where several constraints must be taken into account.

Abstract
Microwave ablation is a stand-alone therapy used to remove unhealthy tissues by locally increasing the temperature up to 60 - 70 °C, for a short time (a few minutes). The fundamental step in the development of microwave ablation systems is the antenna design where several constraints must be taken into account. In this paper, a semi-analytic technique is used to evaluate the input impedance of the antennas. The obtained results are compared with literature data, with numerical simulations, and experimental measurements. © 2010 EuMA.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
