Simulated B1 for the four-element LWA array configuration (a) and a
fractionated dipole array (b) in the transverse slice through the prostate of
the human body Duke anatomical model for 1 W of accepted power. The corresponding
SAR for the LWA array (c) and fractionated dipole array (d) in a transverse slice
through the maximum of local SAR.
