Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A microwave ablation system is disclosed. The system includes a microwave antenna assembly that includes an identification device configured to store an optimal frequency of the microwave antenna assembly. The system also includes a generator configured to couple to the microwave antenna assembly and to output microwave energy at an operational frequency. The generator is further configured to read the optimal frequency from the identification device and to configure the operational frequency to substantially match the optimal frequency.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A microwave ablation antenna assembly, comprising: a hub; an identification device formed on the hub and storing data including a predetermined optimal frequency for operating the microwave ablation antenna assembly, the data being encoded in the identification device during production of the microwave ablation antenna assembly; a radiating section coupled to the hub; and a cable adapted to couple the hub to a generator outputting microwave energy, the…
