First Claim
1. A device for microwave resonance therapy comprising:
- a power source;
a pulsed voltage generator connected to the power source and having an output;
a slotted transmission line for transmitting electromagnetic waves of an EHF range, said slotted transmission line including a conducting member defining a longitudinal slot having a first end and a second end;
a spark discharge source for generating a continuous frequency spectrum electromagnetic radiation including radiation in the EHF range when a spark discharge exists, said spark discharge source being at the first end of the slotted transmission line adjacent the slot and including a first electrode and a second electrode, said first and second electrodes defining a spark gap and being connected to the output of the pulsed voltage generator, wherein at least one of the first and second electrodes forms the conducting member of the slotted transmission line; and
a radiating antenna formed at the second end of the slotted transmission line.

Abstract
The device in accordance with the invention is an apparatus for producing electromagnetic radiation for use in microwave resonance therapy. This device provides improved selectivity of the effect produced by electromagnetic radiation in the EHF band on biologically active points. The device is well suited for production by simplified mass production techniques. A continuous spectrum of electromagnetic energy in the EHF band is produced by the device, whose input is connected to a power source via a pulsed voltage generator. The output is connected to a radiating antenna. The source of the electromagnetic radiation and the radiating antenna are integrated together via a slotted transmission line. One of the ends of the slotted transmission line carries a spark discharge source which is connected to the pulsed voltage generator. The other end of the slotted transmission line serves as the radiating antenna.
