Evaluation of a patch antenna applicator for time reversal hyperthemia
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2010

Purpose: To describe the design, analysis and evaluation of a new antenna array system for microwave hyperthermia. The proposed antenna array was evaluated by the focusing method based on the time-reversal principle. Materials and methods: Power absorption distributions in a cylindrical homogeneous and inhomogeneous phantom were calculated for the frequency range 500-900 MHz. Two set-ups with 12 and 16 antennas were analysed by comparing the changes in focusing areas enclosed by the 50%, 75% and 90% iso-SAR contours. For a more quantitative evaluation of the results the average power absorption ratio and remaining tissue maximum index were calculated. Results: The sharpest focusing area in the centre of the phantom, 151 mm
