Abstract
The fundamentals of electromagnetic power deposition in lossy media are discussed with some details for layered media, scattering around a small sphere and sharp corners. Capacitive and radiative devices are discussed in general, with waveguide applicator, microstrip and inductive applicators as examples. Integration over apertures and use of Gaussian beams are used as theoretical models. Finally the Gaussian beams are used to discuss various excitations of a 4-element array.
