Abstract |
A novel approach for modeling the thermic endfire interstitial applicator is presented. A hypothetical semi-infinite circular cylinder is added in the endfire direction in order to facilitate the theoretical modeling approach. The Fourier transform and mode-matching technique is utilized to obtain a solution in fast-convergent series Numerical computations for the input impedance are performed to check the Validity of the theoretical model. |
