Power-Stage Antenna Integrated System with Junction Member
First Claim
1. A microwave antenna assembly for applying microwave energy therapy, comprising:
- a proximal portion having an inner conductor, an outer conductor, a DC power and a DC neutral each extending therethrough, the inner conductor disposed within the outer conductor and the DC power and DC neutral positioned radially outward from the outer conductor;
an antenna including a distal radiating section and a proximal radiating section;
a junction member having a longitudinal thickness and having at least a portion that is disposed between the proximal radiating section and the distal radiating section, the junction member further including a microwave signal amplifier configured to receive a microwave signal at a first power level from the inner and outer conductor and a DC power signal from the DC power and DC neutral; and
the microwave signal amplifier further configured to amplify the microwave signal from a first power level to at least one second power level greater than the first power level.

Abstract
Disclosed is a microwave antenna assembly for applying microwave energy. The assembly includes a proximal portion having an inner conductor, an outer conductor, a DC power and a DC neutral each extending therethrough the antenna has a distal radiating section and a proximal radiating section and a junction member. The junction member includes a longitudinal thickness and is disposed between the proximal radiating section and the distal radiating section. The junction member further includes a microwave signal amplifier configured to receive a microwave signal at a first power level from the inner and outer conductor and a DC power signal from the DC power and DC neutral. The microwave signal amplifier amplifies the microwave signal from a first power level to a second power level greater than the first power level.
