Synopsis:

Lectures are focussed on methodology of evaluation of microwave applicators, which means measurements of SAR distribution in water phantom and measurements of temperature distribution in various types of agar phantoms. Further design and optimisation of measuring probes is discussed, methodology of probes calibration and measured data evaluation are described. Numerical modelling of microwave applicators by aid of software product FEMLAB, comparison of mathematical and experimental models.
