Abstrakt: High frequency measurements at 50 MHz{10 GHz were performed for the first time using interdigitated electrodes on a low temperature co-fired ceramic substrate to analyze fungal spores. Wet and dry spore generation methods were evaluated and tested with two di®erent fungal species. The dry generation method was found feasible for RF measurements, since the component capacitance increased 14{21% in the 2{6 GHz range, but for the wet generation method the capacitance decreased only slightly (< 1%). Based on these initial results the RF measurements have the capacity to evaluate the quantity of fungal spores but not to identify their species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
