FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to a radio-frequency apparatus and a method for capacitively coupled hyperthermia. The apparatus comprises a radio-frequency source, an amplifier, a sensor, a feedback amplifier, and a modulation signal generator, wherein the radio-frequency source generates a source signal which is modulated by the modulation signal generator, amplified by the amplifier and directed to a target. The sensor receives a feedback signal from the target that is directed to the feedback amplifier, wherein the feedback signal is amplified by the feedback amplifier and modulates the source signal to generate a target-modified signal.
EFFECT: group of inventions allows higher selectivity in treating hyperthermia.
