An Analysis of Coaxial Line Slot antenna for Hyperthermia Treatment by Spectral Domain Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
An extended spectral domain approach (ESDA) is applied to evaluate the scattering parameter of laterally slotted coaxial antenna for hyperthermia treatment. The results calculated by ESDA are in good agreement with that by Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation. Computational labor of the present method is far lighter than that of FEM, and the method is suitable for the iterative computation that is required for the optimization of antenna design. The present method can afford to consider the effect of the metallization thickness in the outer conductor.

Coaxial Slot Antenna Design for Microwave Hyperthermia using Finite- Difference Time-Domain and Finite Element Method
Hyperthermia also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures. Research has shown that high temperatures can damage and kill cancer cells, usually with minimal injury to normal tissues. Otherwise, ablation or high temperature hyperthermia, including lasers and the use of radiofrequency, microwaves, and high-intensity...

Introduction Hyperthermia therapy is commonly used for tumor treatment that already has been widely investigated. The principle of hyperthermia therapy employs the clear difference in heat sensitivity of normal cells and tumor cells at 42°C to 43°C and above. This difference is used for selective killing of only the tumor cells. Recently, hyperthermia therapy combined with magnetic resonance im...

In this paper, a transmission-line type of input impedance model originally developed by King et al. [4] for the insulated dipole antenna embedded in a homogeneous dissipative medium is extended to the case of insulated coaxial slot antenna. Physical construction of the latter indicates the presence of additional current path(s) inside the feed line, which shall lead to the shortening of its re...
