Slotted Applicator for Microwave Local Hyperthermia

Abstract

The object of this work is to design a microwave applicator for local thermotherapy, which is work on the principle of a slot line. The working frequency of this applicator is 434 MHz. A 3D simulator of electromagnetic field is used for numeric simulation and consequential optimalization. After that, the designed applicator is made and its reflectance and specific absorption rate is measured in phantom of biologic texture. At the end of the work results of all measurements are compared to results of simulation.
