GENERATING AND INTERLEAVING OF IRREVERSIBLE-ELECTROPORATION AND RADIOFREQUENCY-ABLATION (IRE/RFA) WAVEFORMS

摘要

An irreversible electroporation and radio frequency ablation (IRE/RFA) generator incudes an IRE pulse generator, harmonic filtration circuitry, and a waveform interleaver. The IRE pulse generator is configured to generate biphasic IRE pulses. The harmonic filtration circuitry is configured to convert the IRE pulses into an RF signal. The waveform interleaver, which is configured to receive the IRE pulses and the RF signal and generate an IRE/RFA output signal by interleaving in alternation one or more of the IRE pulses with one or more periods of the RF signal.
