Phased array applicators for microwave hyperthermia are usually developed using planar, layered tissue models, and then evaluated using numerical techniques. The present investigation considers the use of a cylindrical, layered tissue model to replace the first step of the design procedure. This model facilitates an evaluation of the impact of curvature, polarization, and bolus materials on the antenna performance.
