A Simplified Dielectric Material Characterization Algorithm for Both Liquids and Solids KU Leuven
IEEE A simplified dielectric material characterization technique that combines an equivalent impedance algorithm and a general “line–line” trace method is introduced. The technique is applicable to every type of transmission lines. Due to the convenient fabrication and the allowance of integration with various polymers, coplanar waveguide transmission lines integrated with an SU-8 microfluidic channel is primarily used in this study. The ...
Experimental Study on the Viscosity of Stainless Steelmaking Slags KU Leuven
© 2019 Iron and Steel Institute of Japan. All Rights Reserved. The influence of temperature, slag basicity and Cr 2 O 3 content on the viscosity of stainless steelmaking slags has been experimentally determined. The viscosity is mostly affected by the combination of basicity and Cr 2 O 3 content. The results are discussed by considering the Iida model for the fully liquid slag and the Herschel-Bulkley equation for the solid-bearing slag. For the ...
Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy of Cell Cultures KU Leuven
© 2018 IEEE. Broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements of biological materials within RF/microwave range can reveal cellular information, which is of important value in biological and medical researches. Here, we present a platform that combines a miniaturized coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line (TL) sensor and a special CPW-fed interdigitated capacitor (IDC), which allows us to measure the complex permittivity of cell cultures from ...
