  • Abstract
    The sensitivity of microwave radiometry for detecting subcutaneous targets is strongly related to the antenna receiving properties. When radiometry is used in conjunction with superficial hyperthermia, there are conflicting requirements in optimising the antenna design for both tasks. The authors therefore propose an integrated transceiving antenna approach for simultaneous heating and thermometry. By means of a scanning electric field probe, the radiated electric field distribution was measured for the concept in an inhomogeneous lossy medium
