  • Varicose veins contract when heated through microwave ablation. Heat application through microwave ablation, the collagen tends to regain its elasticity. In this paper, we propose simulation of the varicose vein with a wearable micro strip patch antenna. ANSYS HFSS 17.2 is an electromagnetic finite element method solver. The phantom model of human skin with normal vein and varicose vein with a wearable micro strip patch antenna was designed using this software. The wearable micro strip patch antenna is designed so that this approach is minimally invasive. The wearable micro strip patch antenna is modelled with a resonant frequency of 9.8 GHz. The temperature of about 45°C is proposed as the treatment for varicose vein.
