Research on the Possibility for Reflexotherapy MW Irradiator to Increase MW Electromagnetic Oscillations Penetration Depth into Biological Tissue

Abstract

The results of calculations of MW electromagnetic (EM) oscillations penetration depth into biological tissue (BT) under treatment by MW irradiator for reflexotherapy are discussed. The irradiator was made of the segment of coaxial waveguide. It is shown that in order to satisfy the reflexotherapy requirements on locality and MW EM oscillations penetration depth into BT it is necessary to use coaxial waveguide having inner electrode radius ∼0.5 mm and outer electrode radius of ∼1 - 1.5 mm.
