Abstract :
A dielectric measurement method based on using dielectric image guide (DIG) is presented. This method is ideal for characterization of very small liquid samples, e.g. in the range of mul or less, and has the advantage of broadband frequency measurement. The open structure of DIG makes it very convenient to place the liquid droplet at a predetermined location.
