Noninvasive monopole phased array for hyperthermia treatment of cranial-cavity and skull-base tumors: design, analysis, and phantom tests

Noninvasive monopole phased array for hyperthermia treatment of cranial-cavity and skull-base tumors: design, analysis, and phantom tests

A noninvasive monopole phased array antenna for microwave hyperthermia is investigated. The principal application for this array, with 915 MHz microwave radiation, is the treatment of shallow tumors. Preliminary tests in a liquid phantom indicate desirable focused electric-field characteristics.
