Abstract

An insulated monopole antenna having a balun and a cap at the coaxial feeder and the monopole end, respectively, may be designed to have a well-confined uniform heating Pattern as well as the satisfactory impedance matching at the input port of the antenna. Measurements by using the infra red camera in the biologically equivalent tissue phantom shows that the highest temperature is 46 degree in centigrade at the 20 watts input Power for 2 minutes and input reflection less than -30 dB at 2450 MHz.
