Abstract :
A new method of biological sample characterization at millimeter waves has been studied to verify and extend Webb´s experimental results. This method, based on interferometric measurements, is suitable to obtain an absorption spectrum of a living bacterial sediment with a high sensitivity. It has been applied in the frequency range 66-73 GHz. Some experimental results are reported.
