Abstract
Measurements have been made of the permittivity and conductivity of normal and wounded human skin material over the frequency range 10 MHz‐10 GHz. The permittivity of the wounded tissue was found to be about 12% higher than that of the normal tissue. A similar percentage increase was observed for the conductivity. These differences are attributed to the presence of a higher proportion of bulk water in the wounded material.Keywords
