An RF transceiver for coupling an RF signal through a target area, having
a transmission head having a transmission inductor having a first axis
directed toward a target area, an RF generator capable of generating a
hyperthermia-inducing RF signal having at least one component for
transmission via the transmission head, the RF signal being capable of
heating at least one of target cells and RF absorption enhancers
associated with target cells to thermally damage the target cells, a
reception head for receiving the RF signal and having a reception
inductor having a second axis directed toward the target area, a first
tuned circuit in circuit communication between the RF generator and the
transmission head, and a second tuned circuit in circuit communication
between the reception head and a load, and wherein the first and second
tuned circuits cooperate with each other and the transmission and
reception heads to form a high-Q circuit for coupling the RF signal
through the target area. The tuned networks may be simple or elaborate
pi-networks and may have tunable components to help couple a desired
amount of power from the transmission head to the reception head through
the target area.
