Interest in the development of hyperthermia for cancer procedure is growth explosively all over the years as it is able to damage and kill the cancer cell non-invasively. An EBG-M antenna is designed with FDTD simulation packages, which is then applied towards treated cancerous area, where for the purpose of this simulation studies, breast is developed as the targeted cancer area to be treated. The radiation absorption is presented as the results obtained to be compared with previous works and also to be analyzed. It has been recognized that the designed antenna or also called as the applicator is able to offer depth radiation absorption and also improved the focusing, which is represented by the specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution towards breast hyperthermia cancer procedure.

<p>This paper presents a numerical solution to minimize electromagnetic radiation from a Planar Inverted Fractal Antenna (PIFA) used in cellular phone. The PIFA is simulated using a semiconductor substrate having a dielectric constant of 3.38. The height of the dielectric substrate is 0.813 mm. The designed antenna is simulated at a broad range of microwave frequency spectrum used in cellular communication. A 50-ohm probe of 0.5 mm radius perpendicular to the ground substrate plate is used as a feeding medium. The antenna performance is evaluated for three different lengths keeping all other parameters constant. Simulation results show that the intended PIFA having a length of 20 mm can be used effectively to reduce the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of radiation. Moreover, the reflection coefficient was found to be minimal 0.1569 at 20 mm antenna length which is determined by characteristic impedance relation. Therefore, this investigation of minimizing the radiation absorption can be considered during the implementation phase of various cellular antennas to avoid radiation-related health hazards.</p>
