Abstract

A comprehensive design methodology is proposed in this paper in order to optimise E-field probes used for evaluating the specific absorption ratio within liquid equivalent tissues exposed to radiofrequency signals. Hybrid analysis approaches are investigated, combining both electromagnetic (three dimensional) and circuit simulators. This design environment can therefore be considered for enhancing E-field detectors’ performances in terms of sensitivity, isotropy, dimensions and shape. Comparisons between simulations and measurements are presented and discussed.
