Abstract

The radiation into muscle tissue from a planar array of magnetic dipoles is discussed. A figure of merit (gain) of an applicator involving power density at a point is defined. For constant illumination the gain is almost independent of frequency for a fixed aperture. Illuminations maximizing gain are tapered near the edge of the array and focused.
