Abstract
Electromagnetic scale modeling techniques have been extensively used as a design tool to provide verification of computer model predictions and optimization of design parameters. The model antennas are scaled up in size and down in frequency. The design parameters relate directly to the requirements of obtaining antennas that meet thermal field performance goals. The basic laws of electrodynamic similitude are reviewed and specific applications of the theory to the design of implantable microwave antennas are presented
