本文提供了一个第一次全面的审查组织仿真phantomy可用于体外实验的射频（RF）天线和其他电磁（EM）组件。在文献中有各种不同的配方和配制方法，但尚未报告全面的概述。我们基于它们的纹理（即，液体、半固体和固体），并简要讨论易于获得的动物组织在体外实验中的使用。对于每个幻影组，我们提出了一个概述的各种配方和制造方法，指定的工作频率范围和组织（S），他们模仿，讨论相关的好处和挑战，并总结了无线应用程序，他们已经采用了日期。此外，我们回顾了文献中提供的各种方法来测量RF phantomy的电气和热性能，以验证其组织仿真能力。这篇综述为该领域正在进行的和未来的研究创造了一个全面的资源，旨在刺激未来的研究，开发组织仿真幻影和无线射频组件，在身体上或附近工作。
This article provides one of the first comprehensive reviews of tissue-emulating phantoms available for the in vitro experimentation of radio-frequency (RF) antennas and other electromagnetic (EM) components. Diverse recipes and formulation approaches are available in the literature for such phantoms, but a holistic overview has yet to be reported. We review RF phantoms based on their textures (i.e., liquid, semisolid, and solid) and briefly discuss the use of readily available animal tissues for in vitro experimentation. For each phantom group, we present an overview of the various recipes and fabrication methods, specify the operating frequency range and tissue(s) they emulate, discuss the associated benefits and challenges, and summarize the wireless applications for which they have been employed to date. Further, we review various methods available in the literature to measure the electrical and thermal properties of RF phantoms as required to verify their tissue-emulating capabilities. This review creates a comprehensive resource for ongoing and future studies in the field and is intended to stimulate future research in the development of tissue-emulating phantoms and wireless RF components operating in, on, or near the body.
