In this paper we investigate how to determine optimal locations of the microwave antennas being circularly ordered in a hyperthermia device. The heated area containing the tumor should have minimal volume. Based on a simple geometric model for the two and three dimensional case we develop algorithms for the computation of these volumes and present numerical results for the optimal locations.
