Theoretical and Measurement Results

figure.10

The theoretical calculations of the model in figure 2 are

compared with experimental measurements of the actual

dipole construction following the same physical

dimensions as what was used and optimized within the

FDTD model. The theoretical calculations in figure 8

are derived from the impulse response and are verified

with experimental measurements on our first physical

model figure 9.

The impulse response electrical performance relative to

tissue and air is represented in figures 10 & 11

respectively.  Several  production  dipoles  were

constructed and measured; the physical dimensions and

respective VNA results are presented in figure 12.
