Title: Electrosurgical device with integrated microwave source
IPC: A61B18/18
Filed: 2022-03-22
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrosurgical device in which an amplifier for obtaining microwave power is disposed in the same region as a radiating structure for delivering the microwave power into a distal portion of the electrosurgical device. 
     SOLUTION: An electrosurgical device may be insertable through an instrument channel of a surgical scope device (e.g., an endoscope). The entire microwave generation line-up may be incorporated into the electrosurgical device so that only DC input power is required. Thus, microwave power losses and accompanying defects associated with known devices can be avoided. The amplifier may be manufactured using a wide bandgap semiconductor material (e.g., GaN and GaN-based alloys). These materials make it possible to manufacture devices which operate at RF and microwave frequencies.
