An apparatus for creating resonant standing waves in biological tissue, comprising a plurality of applicators for application to the biological tissue and a drive unit configured to drive the applicators simultaneously with at least one AM modulated carrier signal and a plurality of FM modulated carrier signals in order to create resonant standing waves in the tissue,
- wherein the at least one AM modulated carrier signal comprises a set of AM modulated carrier signals of a plurality of different frequencies which drive the applicators in sequence for respective periods of time, and the set of AM modulated carrier signals repeats to drive the applicators in repetitive sequence,
- wherein the FM modulated carrier signals are different from each other and applied simultaneously to drive the applicators, and
- wherein one or more of the FM modulated carrier signals comprises a set of FM modulated carrier signals of a plurality of different frequencies which drive the applicators in sequence for respective periods of time, and the set of FM modulated carrier signals repeats to drive the applicators in repetitive sequence.
