Systems, apparatus, methods, and procedures for the non-invasive treatment of tissue using microwave energy

A method of driving the antennas in an array of microwave antennas, the method comprising the steps of:

• positioning an apparatus including a plurality of waveguide antennas;
• inputting control information into a Graphical User Interface, wherein a master controller responds to outputs from the Graphical User Interface by:
• applying microwave energy by a first waveguide antenna;
• applying microwave energy concurrently by the first waveguide antenna and a second waveguide antenna wherein the second waveguide antenna is a next adjacent antenna to the first waveguide antenna and wherein the microwave energy supplied to adjacent antennas is in-phase;
• and
• applying microwave energy by the second antenna alone.
