Abstract
Describes a new kind of external planar applicators with several patches called multi-applicator which have been developed for microwave hyperthermia controlled by microwave radiometry. The possibility to obtain larger heating patterns than with a single patch applicator is clearly focused by the theoretical results which are presented and verified by experimental measurements.
