Abstract

A dielectric composite is developed with permittivity ranging from 8 to 75 with selectable conductive and dielectric losses. The composite comprises gelatin, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), NaCl, and water, and can be used to model soils, loams, and sands in the 200-MHz to 20-GHz range. A single-term Cole-Cole dispersion equation is developed with frequency-independent parameters being functions of component concentrations. Fits are provided for various soil samples and surrogate concentrations.
