Abstract
The problems associated with measuring the local electric field in a medium with spatally inhomogeneous electrical constitutive parameters like biological tissue are discussed. Simple theoretical analyses that describe the operation of electrically short bare and insulated electric field probes in a dissipative medium are presented. The conditions that must be satisfied for each of these probes to have an electric field response that is independent of the electrical constitutive parameters of the surrounding tissue are determined. The results of a systematic experimental study of both types of probes are presented. In the study the probes were immersed in a succession of liquids with dielectric properties similar to those for biological tissues at radio frequencies.Keywords
