Dielectric properties for anterior, middle, tail, and belly portions of Alaska pink salmon (Oncornynchus gorbuscha) fillets were measured at frequencies between 27 and 1800 MHz from 20 to 120 C to provide insights for improving the modeling of microwave (MW) and radio frequency (RF) commercial sterilization processes of salmon products. Compositional differences contributed to the observed slig...

This paper focused on the coaxial probe fed square patch microstrip antenna characteristics have been studied with and without dielectric Superstrates. The dielectric constant of the substrate and Superstrate material is used same for designing of square microstrip patch antenna. The antenna designed frequency is 2.4GHz(ISM band) using transmission line model. In this paper experimentally inves...

A new technique to evaluate the dielectric constant and loss factor of a homogeneous dielectric material using rectangular shaped perturb cavity has been developed. The values of S-parameters are measured experimentally by placing the sample in the center of the cavity resonator. Sample under test is fabricated in the form of a cylinder. The real and imaginary part of the permittivity can be th...

Soil is a mixture of four components: air, free water, bound water and soil particles. The microwave dielectric constant of soil is strongly dependent on the soil moisture content. The dielectric constant is a measure of the response of a material to an applied electric field, such as an electromagnetic wave. It has a real and an imaginary component. Soil particles’ dielectric constant depends ...

A numerical technique to estimate the dielectric constant and loss factor of a homogeneous dielectric material placed in an arbitrary shaped cavity has been developed. The values of S-parameters are measured experimentally by placing the sample in the cavity. Starting with a trial set of permittivity values, the computation is carried out using the finite element technique (FEM) to match the Sp...

porous silicon (ps) samples have been prepared by electrochemical anodization of p-type silicon wafer by varying hf concentrations in the electrolytic solution. the structural, surface morphological, optical and surface composition analysis of the prepared samples were done by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), photoluminescence (pl) and fourier transform infrared (fti...

In this article, by using the method of finite difference time domain (FDTD) and PML boundary conditions, we have studied the photonic band gaps for TE and TM modes in square and triangular lattices consisting of air holes in dielectric medium and compared the results. In addition, the effect of nonlinearity of the photonic crystal background on the photonic band gaps and comparison with the re...

A constant current charge/discharge protocol which showed fumed silica filled to the point of incipient wetness with aqueous NaCl solution to have dielectric constants >10⁸ over the full range of dielectric thicknesses of 0.38-3.9 mm and discharge times of 0.25->100 s was studied, making this material another example of a superdielectric. The dielectric constant was impacted by both frequency a...

In the medical field, microwaves play a larger role for treatment than diagnosis. For the detection of diseases by microwave methods, it is essential to know the dielectric properties of biological materials. For the present study, a cavity perturbation technique was employed to determine the dielectric properties of these materials. Rectangular cavity resonators were used to measure the comple...
