Electromagnetic study of the breast for biomedical applications

Abstract

This work presents an electromagnetic test of the breast for biomedical applications. The test is given in the Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band where the frequency equal to 2.4 GHz. The simulation results of the electromagnetic aspects of the proposed test are given by Computer Simulation Technology Microwave Studio (CST-MWS) based on finite integration technique (FIT) method. The treated parameter for the immunity test of the breast is the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). We propose four models of the breast phantom to obtain a comparative study in terms of the size effect and the thickness of different layers. The simulation results show that the immunity of the breast is depends to the Power energy and the breast size
