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 PEG100 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 GHz and 6.7 GHz with less than 10% error.
