Abstract
A self-resonant single-turn electrode for use in the treatment of animal tissue with hyperthermia by coupling the electrode to a supply of radio frequency energy. The electrode comprises a plurality of planar annular disc members concentrically stacked with dielectric material therebetween. Each disc has a radial slit therethrough to form a gap. The discs are stacked with the gaps of adjacent discs 180.degree. apart. The radio frequency energy may be coupled to the entire stack by connecting to only one disc and the discs are all insulated from each other.
