Abstract

This article deals with the design and construction of the microwave applicator with transversal electro-magnetic (TEM) wave, which is filled by distilled water. We have constructed an applicator that works on the frequency f = 434MHz with aperture size of 100mm x 75mm.

The applicator is made of the copper. Design of dimensions of the applicator and simulation of the specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution were created in program SEMCAD X LIGHT 13.

We have designed an image segmentation algorithm based on histogram fuzzification and k-means algorithms and a simple graphical user interface for computing of SAR distribution area, both in the MATLAB environment.
