Abstract
According to some embodiments, systems for facilitating consistent radiometric tissue contact detection independent of orientation comprise a medical instrument having an antenna positioned at a distal end, an energy delivery element positioned at a distal end of the medical instrument, a radiometer, an impedance transformation network positioned between the antenna and the radiometer, and a processor configured to receive an input signal from the radiometer and provide an output indicative of an amount of tissue contact based upon the input signal. The impedance transformation network may be tuned to provide a substantially uniform radiometric response independent of an orientation of the antenna with respect to the tissue as the antenna is brought into contact with the tissue of a subject.
