Abstract

The paper is devoted to investigation of sensitivity of two probes used in the microwave range of frequencies for determination of complex permittivity of dissipative media by the method of open-ended coaxial line. The work includes evaluation of errors for different biological tissues arising from measurement errors of the complex reflection factor.
