  • Abstract
    The complex permittivity of a sample of human skin is measured across the band 57 to 100 GHz using a free space technique. This data is used to fit a single term Cole-Cole function. The measured data is used in conjunction with a thermal model to determine the temperature rise on the skin surface exposed to millimetre wave signals of 100 Watts/m2 . This indicates a maximum temperature increase of 0.25degC from a 30 second exposure
