Abstract :
In this paper, two different types of electrodes based on slow-wave structures (SWSs) may be used for medical application: radiators (antennas) and applicators (concentrators). The first operate at deceleration N less than the electromagnetic wave deceleration in the tissue (less than 9). The second operate, as a rule, at the deceleration exceeding 9 and more
