A system (10) for heating a biological site in a patient's body includes a
transformer (14) having a primary winding and a secondary winding. The
secondary winding has a tap (24) to provide a ground reference and two
sources of radio frequency (RF) energy. An active electrode (16) is
connected to each source to apply energy from its associated source to
the site, the energy applied by one electrode (16) being out of phase
with the energy applied by the other electrode (16).
