The research group uses all the resources of the Chair of Applied Electromagnetics and RF electronics and the associated labs. The most relevant equipment includes: measurement instruments and probes for dielectric measurements of biological tissues and other materials, measurement instruments and probes for EM field measurements, and also the general purpose equipment: generators, oscilloscopes, amplifiers, sensors, antennas, GTEM cell for standard EM field generation, Helmholtz coils for standard magnetic field generation, parallel plates for standard electric field generation, workstation.
The research priority is to study the dielectric parameters of human tissues and measurements thereof. The collaboration with KBC Zagreb has already been operationally established (with obtaining the ethical approval for studies of human tissue samples and performing the first sets of measurements) actually based on project M-BEM.
The research includes an analysis that will be based on the data obtained by measurements, which requires appropriate measurement equipment, in parts: sensors, probes, electrodes, associated hardware, consumables and specialized equipment for handling biological material. Measurements include measuring the parameters of the human exposure to EM field (unintentional exposure or intentional exposure for medical purposes), measuring the parameters of field sources, propagation and, in cooperation with physicians and foreign partners, and examining the response of cells and tissues to exposure to EM stimuli. Existing research activities have shown that some specialized pieces of equipment cannot be obtained as a commercial product, but need to be produced through our own research, development, and innovation. In the process of development of measurement equipment and hardware, and also in the process of analysis of bioelectromagnetic interactions, there will be a need for modeling and simulation of the analyzed system, with a constant need to increase computer processing power.
