Abstract: The authors present transmission data, taken at Ka (36 GHz) and W (95 GHz) bands in the millimetre-wave region of the electromagnetic spectrum, for various dressing materials used in the treatment and management of burn wounds. The results show that such materials are highly transparent (typically > 90% transmission) and, in their dry state, will permit the sensing of the surface of the skin through the thick layers (> 2 cm) of different dressings typically applied in medical treatment of burn wounds.

“…The spread in the emissivities also indicates the variability from person to person. The simulated emissivity values of healthy skin are in agreement with the measured values, and also in agreement with the simulations from the Harmer model [Harmer et al, ], as illustrated in Table .…”

“…Human skin emissivity can be measured using a radiometer [Harmer et al, ]. The output of such a device is a voltage V in volts, expressed as: V=αtrue(Tb+TNtrue) where T b is the radiation temperature of the source (in this case the skin) expressed in Kelvin, α is the receiver responsivity (in Volts per Kelvin), and T N the receiver noise temperature (also in Kelvin).…”

“…Although human skin is the largest multifunctional organ in the human body, to date insufficient attention has been paid to human skin signatures over the MMW frequency band for security screening purposes. A number of researchers investigated the electromagnetic response of the human skin over this band for medical purposes only [18][19][20][21][22]. These are useful resources to explore the capabilities for security screening by the identification of anomalies on the human body which may be suggestive of a concealed threat, which is the subject of this paper.…”
