This article describes a new type of external planar applicator with several patches. The new planar applicator has been developed for microwave hyperthermia controlled by microwave radiometry. The theoretical results, which are presented and verified by experimental measurements, clearly show that it is possible to obtain larger heating patterns with the multiple‐patch planar applicator than with single‐patch applicators. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
