Pulsed Radiofrequency

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm studying pulsed radiofrequency ablations and I've seen a couple of COMSOL tutorials on the subject.

I tried remaking this tutorial and it worked properly.

However, the ablation is going through a continuous source and not a pulsed radiofrequency source.
I'm new to COMSOL and I'm wondering how to make a pulsing RF generator?

The frequency would be 500 kHz and the pulse lasts 20 msec. There are two pulses every second. So there would be one 20 msec pulse, 480 msec of nothing applied, another 20 msec pulse, and another 480 msec of nothing applied and the cycle starts over on the next second.

The study I would be doing is testing the change in temperature of the surrounding tissue when heat is transferred from the RF source.


If anyone knows how to simulate this, that'd be great!
