Abstract

This chapter studies the development of a transmission/reflection line method for the dielectric characterization of liquids. Water–glucose solutions at several physiological concentrations are measured and characterized with the proposed method. The dielectric dispersion of these solutions is described from the measurements, and the parameters of the Debye model for each solution are given, as well as their Cole–Cole plots. These results are discussed and conclusions are offered, oriented to the development of sensors aimed to track the observed behaviors.

Nature composes some of her loveliest poems for the microscope and the telescope.
