Abstract

In order to apply electromagnetic energy for the treatment of different tumors. The characteristics of the biological tissues are required to be established. In view of this some studies are made in the present work to estimate the propagation characteristics through different biological tissues. The relative absorption of electromagnetic energy is evaluated. The present work involves the estimation of the above data for different polarization of incident energy. The data presented in this work is extremely useful for the design of sources for the above applications.
