Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing comprising: providing a coaxial feedline including an inner conductor, an insulator circumscribing the inner conductor, and an outer conductor circumscribing the insulator; applying a balun short circumferentially about the outer conductor of the coaxial feedline; applying a dielectric material circumferentially about the outer conductor of the coaxial feedline and in contact with the balun short to form a balun; extending a temperature sensor along the coaxial feedline such that the sensor contacts the balun short; securing the temperature sensor to the coaxial feedline with a first heat shrink material; securing the dielectric material, balun short, and temperature sensor in contact with each other and to the coaxial feedline using a second heat shrink material to make a microwave ablation device.
