Patent ID: 8498834

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for analyzing radio frequency energy deposition, the method comprising: receiving, by a computing device, information defining a radio frequency source; receiving, by the computing device, information defining an object; calculating, by the computing device, a first set of ray traces of radio frequency energy from the radio source to the object; calculating, by the computing device, a second set of ray traces of radio frequency energy reflected off of the object for reflections up to a specified number of generations; calculating, by the computing device, radio frequency energy deposited onto the object from the first set of ray traces and the second set of ray traces; generating, by the computing device, a visual display of the radio frequency energy deposited onto the object, the visual display further including a visual display of the object; and visually distinguishing, by the computing device, associated areas within the object according to respective levels of deposited radio frequency energy.
