As permittivity is depends on material density, the optimum sample size where further size variations will not change the effective permittivity are identified. Using simulation and experimental results it is found that, a sample having thickness more than 9 of substrate height (tsub) and width greater than 18.3 of guided wavelength (λg) shows size-independent effective permittivity. Both simulation and experimental results are in good agreement (within 3). These findings allow more effective characterization of muscles according to their moisture content. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. date: 2016 publisher: John Wiley and Sons Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84948798386&doi=10.1002%2fmop.29487&partnerID=40&md5=6e70eb32555012232df3bd1b5af69a3d id_number: 10.1002/mop.29487 full_text_status: none publication: Microwave and Optical Technology Letters volume: 58 number: 1 pagerange: 4-9 refereed: TRUE issn: 08952477 citation: Jilani, M.T. and Wen, W.P. and Cheong, L.Y. and Rehman, M.Z.U. and Khan, M.T.
