Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to develop a new ''tissue equivalent phantom'' to assist in the development of biomedical applications that utilize radio frequency transmissions. New technologies will be evaluated using the phantom. The knowledge gained is combined through simulation with real world measurements. Technologies can be evaluated without unnecessarily burdening human subjects or requiring the use of cadavers for system evaluation. A brief history of currently available phantom technology is presented, including the transition from bulk loading phantoms to more complicated phantoms that modify the conductivity and permittivity of the phantom. In a standard saline phantom only the conductivity is modified. Comparative analysis was performed and showed agreement between the simulation and the phantom. The phantom and simulation experiments were then confirmed with human experiments. Finally, specific applications were designed, constructed and tested using the new phantom.
