Abstract
Resistively loaded dielectric biconical antenna apparatuses, including systems and devices, that may be used to transmit very short electrical pulses (e.g., nanosecond, sub-nanosecond, picosecond, etc.) into tissue non-invasively at energy levels sufficient to invoke biological changes in the tissue. These resistively loaded dielectric biconical antenna apparatuses may include a resistor ring reducing internal reflection and reducing energy loss, as well as delivering longer pulses (e.g. microsecond to millisecond) to tissue.
