Radiation power absorbed by a half-infinite sample irradiated by microwave
field incident normally to the sample surface is calculated. Local properti
es of the sample, such as electric conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, c
oncentration of localized spins, etc., are supposed to be nonhomogeneous in
the direction perpendicular to the surface. In linear on magnetic suscepti
bility approximation, algorithms of electron paramagnetic resonance imaging
are suggested for the case of conducting and lossy-dielectric materials. T
hese algorithms are tested by numerical simulations. Obtained results can b
e applied to nuclear magnetic resonance imaging as well.
