SAR distribution of the 'coaxial TEM' system with variable aperture width: measurements and model computations.
An extensive comparison between measured and computed heat absorption distributions in several phantoms inside the 'coaxial TEM' applicator is presented. The influence of the width of the aperture and of the presence of a PVC tube is especially considered.
