The article focuses on the measurement and calculation of dielectric properties of biological tissue in the frequency band 4,5 GHz – 16 GHz. Special attention is paid to the frequency and thermal dependence dielectric constant and loss factor. Observed frequency changes of biological tissue dielectric properties obey causality, i.e. Kramers-Krönig relationships which relate changes of dielectri...

It is shown that the Maxwell's equations for surface electromagnetic TM waves, propagating along the plane boundary between two nonlinear dielectrics with arbitrary diagonal tensor of dielectric permittivity, depending on |E|, can be integrated in quadratures.

[1] Frequency domain analysis of time domain reflectometry waveforms has been shown to be useful for more accurate water content determination, water content determination in saline soils, and determination of such difficult to measure soil properties as specific surface area and soil solution conductivity. Earlier frequency domain analysis approaches to determine frequency-dependent dielectric...

The dielectric properties of molecular layers of water bound to solid surfaces or to macromolecules are substantially different than those of free water. Consequently, determination of moisture content from dielectric properties of porous mixtures, such as soils and rocks having moderate to substantial surface area and cereal grains, is affected by the amount and energy state of bound water. We...

We have developed a system to measure the changes due to heating to high temperatures in the dielectric properties of tissues in the radio-frequency range. A two-electrode arrangement was connected to a low-frequency impedance analyser and used to measure the dielectric properties of ex vivo porcine kidney and fat at 460 kHz. This frequency was selected as it is the most commonly used for radio...

759 Soil water content (θ, m3 m−3) is a basic hydrologic parameter that affects groundwater recharge, surface water fl ow, transpiration, and carbon fi xation. Electronic monitoring of θ facilitates the study of those processes by providing detailed temporal data. Most instruments currently in use measure soil dielectric permittivity, directly or indirectly, and then calculate θ with an equatio...
