Abstract :
In this paper, the electromagnetic field in biological tissues during microwave hyperthermia is computed by using an algorithm combining the SDA and the FDTD methods. The planar microstrip-microslot applicators as well as the surrounding heterogeneous tissues are seen to be guided structures where all electromagnetic fields are computed. Measured and computed results show a good agreement.
