Dielectric properties of human red blood cells (RBCs) in suspension (hematocrit 50%) from 243 healthy persons (120 males, 123 females) were measured at 25 °C in a frequency range of 1–500 MHz, with a coaxial transmission line reflection method (one‐side measurement). The measuring system, controlled by an IBM‐PC computer, was composed of a network analyzer (HP4195A), an impedance test adapter (HP41951‐61001), a coaxial line sensor, and a temperature‐controlling set. The data measured revealed a statistically significant age dependence, with a critical age of about 49 years, above which permittivity and conductivity of human RBCs in suspension decreased significantly. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
