C. Michel et al., MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL-ANALYSIS OF MULTIPATCH PLANAR APPLICATORS FOR MICROWAVE HYPERTHERMIA, Microwave and optical technology letters, 12(3), 1996, pp. 123-128
This article describes a new type of external planar applicator with s
everal patches. The new planar applicator has been developed for micro
wave hyperthermia controlled by microwave radiometry. The theoretical
results, which are presented and verified by experimental measurements
, clearly show that it is possible to obtain larger heating patterns w
ith the multiple-patch planar applicator than with single-patch applic
ators. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
