RADIO FREQUENCY APPLICATOR

Abstract: a radio frequency applicator, including a waveguide having a first interior surface comprising a first aperture, a second interior surface opposing the first interior surface, a third interior surface adjacent to the first and second interior surfaces, a fourth interior surface opposing the third interior surface, and a fifth interior surface perpendicular to the first, second, third, and fourth interior surfaces, an aperture antenna, a solid dielectric insert within the waveguide, the solid dielectric insert having a second aperture formed therethrough that is configured for alignment with the first aperture, an rf connector, configured to receive generated rf energy pulses, at least one planar-shaped shim, having a third aperture therethrough configured to align with the first and second apertures, and a radio frequency feed pin connected to the rf connector, disposed within the first, second, and third apertures and affixed to the second interior surface of the waveguide.
