Article Abstract
We present a new coaxial antenna for microwave interstitial coagulative therapy, working at 2450 MHz and endowed with a miniaturized sleeve choke in order to reduce back heating effects and make the system response less dependent on the antenna insertion depth into the tissue; the way the choke is implemented makes the overall transversal size minimum and allows small adjustments of the choke section length even during operation. We describe the main technical features of the antenna and show experimental results clearly proving the choke effectiveness. Numerical simulations well agree with experimental data, confirming the suitability of the proposed device for minimally invasive medical applications.

Microwave ablation is a therapeutic technique that kills tumors by inducing heat generation in biological tissue through microwave emissions. Microwave ablation is a minimally invasive treatment technique, which has the advantage of treating deeply located tumors with less bleeding than traditional surgical techniques. In this study, the therapeutic effect of microwave ablation was analyzed from the perspective of the temperature range where apoptosis and necrosis occur.

When microwave hyperthermia (MWH) array antenna technology is used to treat breast cancer, how to effectively target and heat deep tumors and reduce thermal damage to healthy tissues is still a challenge in clinical applications. In this study, the synergistic MWH effect of conformal-array antennas (CAA) and a novel microwave-thermal-sensitive nanomaterial (MTSN) was investigated for the treatment of subcutaneous deep breast cancer. At the beginning of the study, the thermal damage score was used to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of the CAA.

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas have recently received attention for improving wireless communication data rates in rich scattering environments. Despite this, the challenge of isolation persists prominently in compact MIMO-based electronics. Various techniques have recently emerged to address the isolation issues, among which the defected ground structure (DGS) stands out as a cost-effective solution.

In this paper, a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR)-based patch antenna is proposed as a microwave sensor to measure the salt concentration of NaCl solution. The microwave sensor consists of an RF-4 substrate, where a small copper disc is attached on the top as the radiator, a larger copper disc integrated with two CSRRs is attached on the bottom side as the finite ground plane, and a coaxial feeding port is introduced at the ground plane center. During salt concentration sensing, only the top disc is immersed into NaCl solution.
