Abstract
A microwave ablation device includes a cable assembly, a feedline, and a transmission line. The cable assembly is configured to connect to an energy source. The feedline is in electrical communication with the cable assembly and includes a first temperature sensor. The first temperature sensor is disposed at a first axial location along a length of the feedline and is configured to sense a temperature at the first axial location. The first temperature sensor extends along the length of the feedline. The transmission line extends from the first temperature sensor and is disposed parallel and in contact with an outer conductor of the feedline.
