Abstract
Electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation are formed by the acceleration of electric charge. Electric charges produce electric and magnetic energy in space when they move. These waves have different frequencies and wavelengths and when they interact with an object they can be refracted, reflected or absorbed. When a suitable frequency and waveform EM signal is applied to the target tissue with the help of a coil or applicator physiological effects will occur at the cellular size. Today studies revealed significant molecular mechanisms occurring during wound healing. Non-ionizing part of the EM spectrum is low-frequency electromagnetic fields are used as adjunct therapy in soft tissue injuries. In this study, the main goal is development of systems which will give better results compared with conventional treatment methods taking into account the effect on rat skin. To achieve this, some improvements in output power, increased gain, versatility, easy adjustments are provided for the spiral and planar antenna-applicator design. © 2016 The Chamber of Turkish Electrical Engineers.
