Abstract:
A microwave heat spread apparatus and an operating method thereof are provided. The microwave heat spread apparatus includes: a plurality of antennas respectively disposed at a plurality of positions of the human body and radiating microwaves into the human body; a plurality of channel transceivers respectively connected to the plurality of antennas and configured to transmit and receive the microwaves through a corresponding antenna; a transmission signal distributor configured to distribute a signal to each of the plurality of channel transceivers; a controller configured to control transmission and reception of signals through the channel transceivers; and a detector configured to detect a difference between a signal received through a channel transceiver after passing through the human body and a signal before passing through the human body.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a transceiver of outputting a microwave signal and a therapy system including the transceiver, the transceiver including a signal attenuator to control an intensity of a microwave signal based on corrected information, a phase shifter to control a phase of the microwave signal based on the corrected information, a signal switch to control a turning-on/off of the microwave signal based on on/off information, a power amplifier to amplify the microwave signal, a detector to calculate a difference between the microwave signal and a result of the amplifying, and a self-monitoring controller to generate the corrected information based on the difference, phase information, and intensity information, output the corrected information to the signal attenuator and the phase shifter, generate the on/off information, and output the on/off information to the signal switch.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and a method for efficiently controlling a temperature, which are capable of minimizing a temperature deviation and decreasing a temperature control time by simultaneously controlling temperatures of matching material used in a microwave imaging system in a main water tank and an auxiliary water tank, and preventing an amplitude and phase information of the microwaves obtained by the microwave imaging system from deteriorating over a lapse of time.
