The analysis domain is decomposed into separate subdomains, which are independently studied through the most appropriate technique and characterized by a generalized scattering matrix (GSM), where the ports are associated with a proper set of wave objects. Finally, the interactions among the subdomains are described by imposing the proper subdomain connections. Two particular implementations of the general technique are illustrated. In the first one, the wave objects are complex point source (CPS) beams. Thanks to the angular selectivity of the CPS beams, only a small fraction of the beams are involved in the final system, thus, leading to an efficient numerical procedure. In the second one, spherical waves are used as wave objects. This choice offers the advantage of direct interfaceability with the output of spherical near-field measurements or numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":325870,"journal":{"name":"2011 XXXth URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125365910","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}

The variations at the geo-data taken at any port of the EEDMCSE give some functional relationships on the electromagnetic characteristics of the distributed complex network explained above.

The authors have been studying thin coaxial antenna for intracavitary microwave heating aiming at the treatment of bile duct carcinoma. In this treatment, an endoscope is first inserted into the duodenum and a long and flexible coaxial antenna is then inserted into the forceps channel of the endoscope, which is used to insert the tool for surgical treatment. Finally, the antenna is guided to the bile duct through the papilla of Vater, which is located in the duodenum, and is inserted in the bile duct. Up to now, the heating characteristics of the antenna are investigated by numerical simulation, experiment using tissue-equivalent phantom and extracted organs. In this study, the authors have an experience on animal experiment using a swine. In the experiment, temperature rises around the antenna inserted into the bile duct were measured. From the results of this experiment, cooling effect by blood circulation was cleared.","PeriodicalId":325870,"journal":{"name":"2011 XXXth URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122952063","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}
