Dual-purpose probe applicable to permittivity measurements and ablation of biological materials

A dual-purpose probe applicable both to permittivity measurements and ablation of biological materials has been developed. For these purposes, a planar-type open-ended coaxial probe was used as an applicator due to its capabilities of broadband permittivity measurements and near-field ablation. In order to maintain highly efficient power transfer during ablation, an impedance matching network is d...
