The first part of the investigations concerns FDTD simulations of a phantom formed by a plastic container with liquid and a small reflecting target. The second part focuses on a three-dimensional numerical breast model with a small tumor. FDTD simulations are carried out assuming a planar incident wave. Various time snap shots of the electromagnetic field are recorded to learn about the physical phenomenon of reflection and scattering in different layers of the phantom.","PeriodicalId":315003,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Microwaves, Radar & Wireless Communications","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122732282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to make use of it, there is a need of designing and modelling of NMR probes. These NMR probes exemplify single-or multi-port radio frequency multiplexers. The NMR probe undergoing analysis is comprised of an impedance tuned and matched coaxial transmission line network terminated with a single sample coil, and multiple RF input-output connections adapted to 50 Ohm standard by means of tuning and matching capacitors. The comparison of scattering matrix elements S(i,i) (reflection coefficients) of both theoretically simulated and constructed a five channel transmission line frequency multiplexer probe of J.Schaefer & R.McKay type is presented. The S-matrix transmission coefficients: S(i,j), ine j, are presented for a \"real\" multiplexer only, due to the importance of the real NMR probe performance. So called calibration spectra obtained with the multiplexer probe are shown as well.","PeriodicalId":315003,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Microwaves, Radar & Wireless Communications","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128232458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
