Abstract :
The permittivity of several reference liquids and selected biological tissues in vivo was measured in the frequency range from 0.01 to 1 GHz. Open-ended coaxial line sensors and computer-controlled network analyzer systems, described in a companion paper, were used. The results were analyzed and compared with the estimated uncertainties. The described method proved to be convenient, fast, and relatively accurate for in vivo measurements.
