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