Dielectric properties of water-in-oil emulsions, oil in water emulsions and limestone-in-water suspensions have been measured at 2.45 GHz by an open-ended coaxial-line probe. The results were compared to various equations for the dielectric properties of mixtures. The equation by Fricke and Mudgett describes best the behavior of oil-in-water emulsions and limestone in water suspensions. For water-in-oil emulsions the equation by Lichtenecker and Rother gives the best results.
