Electromagnetism MWT liquid sample characterization coaxial airline blood sample characterization blood frequency response Microwave Tomography (MWT) is being developed as an accurate detection of hemorrhagic strokes using microwaves. A transmission line technique is used to measure the relative permittivity of blood as a function of frequency and is presented to provide insight on an appropriate operating frequency for MWT. A response calibration method is used on a coaxial sample holder to accurately measure the scattering parameters of and characterization of liquid samples. This thesis will demonstrate the ability to accurately measure liquid samples by replacing the coaxial line dielectric with air. Two methods are used to verify the transmission line measurements. Experimental results from water and 99% isopropyl alcohol are compared against known values to provide verification of the coaxial airline to accurately measure blood samples in the microwave region. 2015-06-22 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1428047081 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1428047081 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
