DIELECTRIC-PROPERTIES OF HONEY-WATER MIXTURES BETWEEN 10-MHZ TO 10-GHZ USING TIME DOMAIN TECHNIQUE

The dielectric properties of honey-water mixture have been investigated using the time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique in the frequency range 10 MHz to 10 GHz at 25-degrees-C. The dielectric spectrum of pure honey can be described by the Davidson-Cole model. Addition of water to honey leads to a broadening of the spectrum. The conductivity behavior was also investigated.
