Abstract
A microwave method for determining the electrical properties of lossy liqui ds is presented. The method is optimised for measuring the complex permitti vity of human tissue equivalent liquids typically used together with human head phantoms in SAR (specific absorption rate) measurements. The presented method has a considerably better performance than conventional methods.
