A bstmcf -The permittivity of several reference fiquids and seleeted biological tissues in uitw was measured in the frequency range from 0.01 to 1 GHz. Open-ended coaziaf line sensors and computer-controlled network anafyzer systems, described in a companion paper, were used. Tbe results were amdyzed and compared with tke estimated uncertainties. The described method proved to be convenient, fast, and relatively accurate for in uitw measurements.

An open-ended coaxial line sensor in conjunction with an automatic network analyzer was used to measure in vivo the permittivity of several feline tissues (skeletal and smooth muscle, liver, kidney, spleen, and brain--gray and white matter) at frequencies between 10 MHz and 1 GHz. The estimated uncertainties of measurement were between 1.5% and 5%. The data are in general agreement with previously obtained data in vitro and in vivo. Significant differences in the properties of different types of the same tissue (eg, skeletal and smooth muscle) were observed. Many tissues were found to be non-homogeneous in its permittivity.
