In order to understand the heating ability of microwave antenna, the spatial distribution pattern of special absorption rate was explored with 2450MHz microwave antenna. Five-group ablated experiments with the heating power of 40W,50W,60W,70W and 80W were performed to in-vitro pig livers. Forty samples of thermal ablation were repeated for each group. In each test, sixteen thermometers were precisely located and the temperature measurements were performed both forward and backward directions. Experimental results demonstrated that the SAR were asymmetric in forward and backward directions and decreased regularly around from antenna center. There was no linear relationship between SAR and heating power however the value of SAR increased with the heating power. Based on good consistency between temperature simulation and the real temperature measurement, in the field near temperature center, the accuracy of the SAR examination was evaluated. In conclusion, experimental study of SAR distribution of microwave antenna is effective and detection results of SAR can be applied to thermal load in computer simulation of temperature field.
