N2 - The dielectric spectroscopy (DS) measurement is an attractive noninvasive method to reveal the intrinsic information of biological materials and cell cultures. However, the presence of a double layer due to electrode polarization within the lower RF and microwave range significantly affects the accurate analysis of dielectric properties of ionic liquids. In this paper, we measure the broadband DS of five saline solutions with a microfluidic coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line sensor across the frequency range from 40 kHz to 110 GHz. Derived from a parallel-plate structure that is transformed from the quasi-TEM CPW sensor through a conformal mapping technique, a broadband spectroscopy modeling method is proposed, where a Cole-Cole function or a constant phase element formula is used depending on the ionic concentrations and the measurement window. Validation analysis on the five saline solutions demonstrates the capability of the modeling method in separating relaxation properties of the bulk sample from the double-layer effects.
