This paper presents a multi-slot coaxial antenna with a pi impedance matching network for liver tumor ablation. A multi-slot radiating probe was optimized by using the modified genetic algorithm to produce a near-spherical heating zone with significantly increased possibility of conformal treatment. A pi impedance matching network was designed to match the feeding transmission line and antenna without increasing antenna size. The reflection coefficient, ablation zone shape, specific absorption rate, and temperature were determined by a finite element electromagnetic simulation using COMSOL. Experimental validations were designed to evaluate the proposed antenna. Both simulation and experimental results show that the proposed antenna has the ability for liver tumor ablation, which offers faster heating rates in the heating center and more localized heating distribution than the conventional single-slot antenna.
