Abstract
A microwave device for a disinfection treatment of a human being is disclosed. The microwave device includes a radiation pad including an array of antennas and a microwave generator configured to excite the array of antennas to cause each antenna in the array of antennas to transmit a continuous-wave microwave signal. Each antenna is arranged in the radiation pad so that as the radiation pad is positioned adjacent a treatment area of the human being the continuous-wave microwave signals from the array of antennas combine in the near field in the treatment area to inactivate microbial pathogens comprising bacteria or fungus.

A microwave device for a disinfection treatment of a human being, comprising:
- a radiation pad including an array of antennas;
- and
- a microwave generator configured to excite the array of antennas to cause each antenna in the array of antennas to transmit a continuous-wave microwave signal, wherein each antenna is arranged in the radiation pad so that as the radiation pad is positioned adjacent a treatment area of the human being the continuous-wave microwave signals from the array of antennas combine in the near field in the treatment area to inactivate microbial pathogens comprising bacteria or fungus.
A method for disinfection with a microwave device, comprising:
- positioning a radiation pad including an array of antennas adjacent a treatment area of a human being to cause the array of antennas to transmit a plurality of continuous-wave microwave signals that combine in the near field to form a combined signal in the treatment area;
- and
- inactivating microbial pathogens in the treatment area from an effect of the combined signal on the microbial pathogens, wherein the microbial pathogens comprise bacteria or fungi.
