Abstract

Noninvasive multifrequency microwave radiometry using coaxial waveguide antenna has been investigated for a homogeneous and four layer human body model. The coupling between coaxial waveguide antenna and a. biological object is analyzed by use of the FDTD method to obtain the absorbed power patterns in the media. The object studied in this paper is a homogeneous and four-layered lossy medium. The specific absorption rates(SAR) distribution is calculated in each region by use of the steady-state response in FDTD method.
