A hybrid device has been developed to make isotropic measurements of radio frequency electric fields and to measure the temperature at one or more locations. Novel means are used to cause the electric field probes to have an isotropic response. Separate temperature probes and implantable radio frequency electric field probes are now used in medical applications where radio frequency fields are used to heat the human body for hyperthermia. The Electric Field and Temperature Probe devices would improve the efficiency and precision of hyperthermic treatment, and could also be used to monitor heating of materials in industrial applications.
