A new high-power RF source with analogue RF frequency filter

A radio frequency, RF, wave source for a medical device. The RF wave source comprises a generator 102 of wideband RF waves which may be a Marx generator generating terahertz frequencies, and an RF transmission apparatus comprising a first waveguide configured to act as a narrowband RF filter, couple...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A radio frequency, RF, wave source for a medical device. The RF wave source comprises a generator 102 of wideband RF waves which may be a Marx generator generating terahertz frequencies, and an RF transmission apparatus comprising a first waveguide configured to act as a narrowband RF filter, coupled to the generator. The terahertz frequency photons from the generator 102 may be used for medical imaging, or may be used to generate electrons as therapeutic radiation or to produce therapeutic X-rays by accelerating the generated electrons. The RF transmission apparatus may comprise a plurality of waveguide components configured to pass different ranges of RF frequencies.
