Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ablation device includes a feedline including an inner conductor having a distal end, an outer conductor coaxially disposed around the inner conductor, and a dielectric material disposed therebetween, an elongated electrically-conductive member longitudinally disposed at the distal end of the inner conductor and having a proximal end, a first balun structure disposed over a first portion of the outer conductor and positioned so that a distal end of the first balun structure is located at a first distance from the proximal end of the electrically-conductive member and a second balun structure disposed over a second portion of the outer conductor and positioned so that a distal end of the second balun structure is located at a second distance from the proximal end of the electrically-conductive member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An ablation device, comprising: a feedline including an inner conductor having a distal end and a first diameter, an outer conductor coaxially disposed around the inner conductor, and a dielectric material disposed therebetween; an elongated electrically-conductive member longitudinally-disposed at the distal end of the inner conductor and having a proximal end and a second diameter different than the first diameter; a dielectric layer coaxially disposed…
