Abstract
Nonevasive 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 was analyzed by use of the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method to obtain the absorbed power patterns in the media. The object studied in this paper was a homogeneous and four-layered lossy medium. The specific absorption rates(SAR) distribution which was corresponding to the temperature distribution was calculated in each region by use of the steady-state response in FDTD method. The SAR pattern of 1.2GHz was compared with that of 1.8GHz.
