ABSTRACT
Dielectric permittivity and conductivity data for human erythrocytes exhibit two consecutive dispersions with frequency in the range from 0.1 to 250 MHz. The dispersion observed above 50 MHz yields a circle in the complex impedance plane with its center on the real axis, suggesting a Debye relaxation, for the erythrocyte interior medium, centered in the microwave frequency range as for bulk water. Moreover, the Maxwell mixture equation, indicates that this "free" water forms most of the suspending medium of hemoglobin macromolecules. These results extend to lower frequencies (earlier results obtained by Schwan) with biological tissues such as muscles, skin, or liver at microwaves frequencies.
