Abstract Dielectric mixture theory was applied
to develop an analytical expression describing the dielectric constant and
conductivity of human lungs. The model consists of air spheres suspended in
simulated whole blood in a 30:70 ratio (by volume). Material simulating these
properties was tested in the frequency range from 100 MHz to 2 GHz showing a
satisfactory agreement with the predicted values. |
