  • Publication number: 20230389868
    Abstract: An electromedical system for the non-invasive diagnosis of neoplastic diseases comprising an electromagnetic source unit, a receiving unit, a multi-band and multi-channel antenna and a processing unit provided with a data processing software. The electromagnetic source unit is configured to generate and radiate an electromagnetic pump signal, an electromagnetic probe signal and a test and reference signal. The receiving unit is configured to receive and measure in amplitude and phase the signals generated by the electromagnetic source unit and captured, in use, by the multi-band and multi-channel antenna.

  • Patent number: 9673533
    Abstract: A radial slot antenna comprising a radial waveguide, which includes an upper plate, having a centroid and an edge region and provided with a plurality of radiating apertures, formed as slots in the upper plate, which develop around the centroid. The radiating apertures are arranged to form first and second radiating regions, which are distinct and radially separated by a dwell region without radiating apertures and wherein, in the first and second radiating regions, radially adjacent radiating apertures are separated from one another by a radial distance, the dwell region having a radial width greater than the radial distances of the radiating apertures in the first and second radiating regions. The slot antenna further comprises a signal feeder for supplying am electromagnetic field to assume, in the first and second radiating regions, opposite phases, so that the electromagnetic field emitted by the slot antenna can be expressed via Bessel functions.

  • Publication number: 20140354498
    Abstract: A radial slot antenna (1; 60) comprising a radial waveguide, which includes an upper plate (5), having a centroid (O) and an edge region (14) and provided with a plurality of radiating apertures (4), formed as slots in the upper plate (5), which develop according to an ideal annular pattern (16) around the centroid (O). The radiating apertures (4) are arranged in such a way as to form at least one first radiating region (31a) and one second radiating region (31b), which are distinct and radially separated by a dwell region (33a) without radiating apertures and wherein, in the first and second radiating regions (31a, 31b), radially adjacent radiating apertures (4) are separated from one another by a respective mutual radial distance, the dwell region (33a) having a radial width (?) greater than the mutual radial distances of the radiating apertures (4) in the first and second radiating regions (31a, 31b).
