PEG-100 Stearate Based Emulsification for Tissue Phantom Development, Covering Relative Permittivity Values from 7 to 77

Phantoms are an essential part of the testing procedure for wearable and implantable devices. There are various ways of developing phantoms in different forms. Here PEG-100 Stearate is proposed to be used as an emulsifying agent to create a wide-band liquid phantom. The protocol to develop the phantom is detailed along with the analysis of the effect of each component on dielectric properties. The protocol is demonstrated through a muscle phantom, a bone phantom and a phantom representing human average with a wide-band performance where the dielectric properties are mimicked between 1 G Hz and 6.7 GHz with less than 10% error.
