note = "Funding Information: Over the past few years, many researchers from various engineering disciplines have directed their interest to applications involving biomedical engineering and medical science. This movement has been encouraged by funding from government agencies, as well as from private sources. In addition, in the U.S., the collaboration between the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and engineers and scientists seeking assistance and guidance has helped in accelerating the utilization of various technologies at bedside. On the other hand, advances in RF and microwave technology have created new opportunities for the utilization of wireless devices and equipment for medical uses such as implants, vital sign monitoring, imaging, and surgery. Moreover, efficient transmission through or over the body places great emphasis on the interaction of RF and microwave signals with human tissue. This is particularly true when antennas, transducers, and applicators are utilized for organ heating or the transfer of data through lossy tissue.",
