A microwave ablation probe includes a cable comprising an antenna configured to deliver Radio Frequency (RF) energy to a target zone and a cooling path defined by a first channel and a second channel configured to circulate cooling fluid in the probe. The inner tube also comprises a choke formed thereon configured to reduce RF energy reflected away from the antenna.

Microwave ablation probe with choke

An antenna array () for detecting an incoming radio wave () having an operating wavelength, comprising: a plurality of antenna elements () arranged in an array with a periodic repetition of the antenna elements (). Each antenna element () comprises a slot () being shaped such that the polarisation of the corresponding antenna element () is non-linear, and having a first axis (A) and a second axis (A) orthogonal to the first axis. Each of the first and second axes (A; A) has a length in the range of about 0.05-0.2 times the operating wavelength of the incoming radio wave () and the ratio of the length of the first axis Ato the length of the second axis Ais between about 1-2.5. There is also a method of configuring an antenna arrayfor detecting an incoming radio wave (), and a method of determining the angle of arrival of a radio wave () impinging on such an antenna array ().
