Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Characterization of Tissue-Equivalent Materials for High-Frequency Applications (200 Mhz to 20 Ghz)
Many research areas require electrical tests that use phantom materials with properties similar to that of the various tissues of the human body, over various frequency bands. In the past, tissue equivalent materials have been used for applications that include studies on the low-frequency electromagnetic wave interaction with the human body, through-the-wall imaging, the interaction of medical implant devices, and the interaction of wireless transmitters with human tissue The conductivities and permittivities of the human body are highly inhomogeneous, and bone, blood, muscle, etc.; all have different permittivities and conductivities. Since the permittivity of human tissue is frequency dispersive, it is important that the simulant material mimics the frequency dependent properties.
