Abstract
A hyperthermia apparatus primarily applicable to the treatment of tumors comprises at least three high-frequency generators connected to three electrodes. The electrodes are intended to be coupled to a patient's body which constitutes the load, thus producing a higher temperature rise in the vicinity of a fictitious electrode in the body. The generators have adjustable phases and amplitudes, the output of each generator being connected to each of the three electrodes.
