چکیده

Significant progress has been made in recent years in the development of microwave tomographic imaging systems for medical applications. In order to design an appropriate microwave imaging system for industrial applications, and to interpret the images produced, the materials under imaging need to be characterised. In this paper, we describe the use of open-ended coaxial probes for the measurement of dielectric properties of liquids at frequencies between 400MHz and 20GHz. The results obtained using the Misra-Blackham model for a number of liquids including water of different salinity are compared with those published in the literature showing a good agreement. For saline water, in particular, the frequency of the minimum loss depends on the salinity. It may change from 1.5GHz for the inclusion of 0.2% NaCl to 7GHz for the inclusion of 3.5% NaCl. The real part of the permittivity may also change by approximately 50% from 400MHz to 20GHz.

Dielectric Properties of Biomass/Biochar Mixtures at Microwave Frequencies

Material dielectric properties are important for understanding their response to microwaves. Carbonaceous materials are considered good microwave absorbers and can be mixed with dry biomasses, which are otherwise low-loss materials, to improve the heating efficiency of biomass feedstocks. In this study, dielectric properties of pulverized biomass and biochar mixtures are presented from 0.5 GHz ...
