An extended spectral domain approach (ESDA) is applied to evaluate the scattering parameter of laterally slotted coaxial antenna for hyperthermia treatment. The results calculated by ESDA are in good agreement with that by Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation. Computational labor of the present method is far lighter than that of FEM, and the method is suitable for the iterative computation that is required for the optimization of antenna design. The present method can afford to consider the effect of the metallization thickness in the outer conductor.
