Abstract Modal analysis and scattering
matrix concepts at discontinuities have been applied to the design and
optimization of open-ended waveguide applicators with several transverse
discontinuities. The tissues are simulated by means of two dielectric layers,
skin and fat. The results obtained show how important improvements can be
obtained in the match between the applicator and the tissues. This method can
also be applied to obtain applicators with increased depth of penetration, by
controlling the discontinuities of the applicators. |
