  • Abstract
    A time-domain reflectometric (TDR) technique with a needle-like dipole probe is described for dielectric measurements of biological substances. The probe is tested by measuring some known liquids. The dielectric measurements made on beef muscle and fat compare favorably with existing literature values of human muscle and fat.
