The use of interstitial microwave antenna array hyperthermia (IMAAH) as a treatment for cancer, in conjunction with radiation therapy and chemotherapy, has been investigated widely. The heating pattern produced by a coherently phased 915 MHz asymmetric antenna array displays the maximum power deposition in the array center. This paper investigates the effect of variable insertion depth between antennas of an array on the heating patterns produced. The "study" of this heating behavior demonstrates a similar effect to that of the variably phased arrays, showing a shift of the heating peak towards the periphery of the tumor, offering a more simple method for the clinical treatment of such tumors.
