title: Complex permittivity of sodium chloride solutions at microwave frequencies.
abstract: The complex permittivity of aqueous solutions at 20 degrees C has been measured at concentrations between 0.001 and 5 mol/L and over a frequency range 0.13-20 GHz. The results were combined with literature values to derive empirical equations to predict the dielectric behavior of sodium chloride solutions between 0 and 5 mol/L and 5 degrees C-35 degrees C.
