Abstract :
An open-ended coaxial line is analyzed as a sensor for in vivo measurement of the complex permittivity of biological substances. The measurement system, based on two computerized network analyzers operating at frequencies from 10 MHz to 1 GHz, is described. Experimental results are presented in a companion paper.
