The underlying aim of presented article is to determine the optimal location and sizes of the air gaps inside a multi-slot coaxial antenna with 50-ohm feed based on the S₁₁-parameter characteristics of microwave applicator to get the best antenna impedance matching to the treated tissue. The next step is the selection of the limit levels of the antenna input power, for which temperature of the tissue do not exceed known therapeutic elevations for microwave therapies at hyperthermic and ablation temperatures. The proposed approach provides a relatively simple method for optimization of the location and size of slots in the antenna structure. The proper choice of limit values of total antenna input power enables appropriate adjustment of temperature of the target tissue to preserve optimal cancer treatment.
