Abstract :
Complex permittivity measurements in the frequency range 1-10 GHz of two conifers, a 5.0 m high Balsam fir and a 1.9 m high spruce, are presented. With the large amount of measurement data it is possible to establish representative average values for the various parts of the considered trees
