Electromagnetic properties of liquids at GHz frequencies for medical tasks and metamaterial applications

Dielectric properties of fluids are of interest in modern radio physics and medicine. The dispersion characteristics of fluids in the GHz frequency range are required to characterize properties of metamaterials with fluid-filled unit cells. The same dispersion properties also play an important role in such important medical applications as diagnosis of the state of a biological object. This work is devoted to study of electromagnetic properties of liquids in the ultra-high frequency range (UHF).
