Spatial Pattern: The applicator produces a collimated (cylindrical) beam
with an area of 5 cm², measured 5 mm from the ceramic
disc surface when the radiation is emitted into the
equivalent of an infinite medium of distilled water at 30° C.
The beam of the applicator is circular in all planes
parallel to the applicator face. A few inches from the
face, it is a single smooth bell-shaped curve. Nearer the
face the pattern varies more due to phase cancellations.
Sample curves measured in the far field from the surface
are shown in Figures 9.3 and 9.4.
