Study on Transmission of an RF Signal through Phantom Muscle Tissue

Abstract: The development of phantom materials provide an approximate simulation of the electromagnetic properties on human body over a determined frequency and temperature range. This material is important for understanding the interaction between implant medical devices and the electromagnetic fields. That is why, its importance in substitution of biological means on the development of transcutaneous energy links for implanted devices. This paper describes the effect of the biological environment, simulated by a substitute of tissue and silicon material on the transmission of the RF signal from a magnetic coupling between two coil system transcutaneous energy.
