In this study, the dielectric properties of a complete Oil Palm Trunk (OPT) log are investigated for both healthy and unhealthy (has hollow inside) samples to be used for imaging purpose (to reconstruct an image of the hollow in an unhealthy sample). An open-ended coaxial probe technique is used for measurement. Both Dielectric loss and loss tangent follow the same trend through most of the frequency band. Although the current sample is bigger than recent similar works, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss are positively harmonized with its moisture content. Furthermore, the results are more realistic than recent related works since a complete sample with all its layers is used not only the core as presented in the literature. © 2019 Author(s). date: 2019 publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85069537792&doi=10.1063%2f1.5094459&partnerID=40&md5=441d0df7c90694379acc1f775beb9bcb id_number: 10.1063/1.5094459 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Advances volume: 9 number: 7 refereed: TRUE issn: 21583226 citation: Saeidi, T. and Ismail, I. and Wen, W.P. and Alhawari, A.R.H.
