Abstract

Dielectric properties (permittivity and conductivity) of biological tissues are interest for biomedical microwave imaging. These properties should be measured in vivo to provide correct images of the tissue. Although there is a significant research done on ex-vivo and in-vitro tissue measurements, the in-vivo measurements have been limited due to the need for surgery or implanted sensors.
