Abstract

The performance of an array of two or four dielectric loaded rectangular applicators operating at 915 MHz is described. Plane and cylindrical muscle tissue phantoms were utilized to determine heating patterns under a variety of conditions. Some undesirable anomalous effects were observed when adjacent applicators were operated with large relative phase shifts.
