Numerical Analysis of an Applicator for Hyperthermia Treatment of Melanoma

摘要

This document presents the design and validation ofan applicator conceived for hyperthermia treatment of themelanoma in the human male torso and female leg. The applicatorconsists of an antenna array operating in the 5.8GHz ISM bandimmersed in an interface layer. The resulting device is comfortableto wear by the patient, low-cost and easy to store and handle.Simulation is carried out using Sim4Life and the ViP 3.0 humanmodel, and the results demonstrate correct energy delivery to thetissue under treatment.
