Abstract

The effect of angle of incidence on the transmission electromagnetic pulse with Gaussion character in biological material is studied. The model assumed is a layer of soft tissue over a semi-infinite medium of honey structure governed by a dispersion. The numerical results demonstrate that the transmitted pulse strength is the greatest when the pulse is incident normally on the air-tissue interface. The coupling efficiency for a one microsecond pulse is three times as big as that for a ten microsecond pulse.
