Abstract
A female breast hyperthermia applicator is designed with twelve microstrip spiral antennas embedded in distilled water and operating at 434 MHz. The antennas are directed towards the tumor and its phases are individually adjusted to have a positive interference at the tumor location. The simulated temperature distribution and SAR values at the tissues obtained by means of SEMCAD X are presented.
