    摘要: A microwave antenna is insertable into a cardiovascular catheter and is formed from a coaxial cable including an inner conductor and an inner insulator with the inner insulator having a reduced diameter portion adjacent a distal end of the catheter. An antenna coil portion of the microwave antenna is disposed about the reduced diameter portion and has a first section, a second section, and a point intermediate to the first and second sections. The intermediate point is electrically connected to an outer conductor of the coaxial cable. An impedance matching means is connected to the inner conductor and to the second section of the antenna coil portion.

    摘要: A catheter shaft carries a coaxial cable, the terminal end of which contains a dipole antenna with opposing first and second helical elements. The first and second helical elements originate from a common connection to an outer conductor of the coaxial cable. The first and second helical elements are formed by winding flat wire around an outer insulator of the coaxial cable near a terminal end of the coaxial cable. A variable, controllable impedance is connected between an inner conductor of the coaxial cable and a point on the second helical element where the resistive component of the antenna's impedance matches the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable. The impedance match minimizes reflective losses of the antenna, thereby maximizing power transferred to the antenna. The antenna has an effective electrical length which is equal to one-half the wavelength of the radiation emitted, independent of the physical length of the antenna. The antenna also has a radiation length which can be adjusted by varying the number in pitch and turns of the flat wire and the location of the impedance matching point.

    摘要: A catheter shaft carries a coaxial cable, the terminal end of which contains a dipole antenna with opposing first and second helical elements. The first and second helical elements originate from a common connection to an outer conductor of the coaxial cable. The first and second helical elements are formed by winding flat wire around an outer insulator of the coaxial cable near a terminal end of the coaxial cable. A series capacitance is connected between an inner conductor of the coaxial cable and a point on the second helical element where the resistive component of the antenna's impedance matches the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable. This match minimizes reflective losses of the antenna, thereby maximizing power transfer to the antenna. The antenna has an effective electrical length which is equal to one half the wavelength of the radiation emitted, independent of the physical length of the antenna. The antenna also has a radiation length which can be adjusted by varying the number and pitch of turns of the flat wire and the location of the impedance matching point. The microwave radiation emitted by the antenna is capable of generating a desired thermal pattern in biological tissue, within which temperatures are capable of exceeding 45.degree. C.
