Abstract: The paper presents the preliminary results on the development of an integrated stripline-based microwave-microfluidic module. The measurements were performed in a frequency range from 300 MHz up to 12 GHz, with the microchannel filled with three different test fluids—deionized water, the ethanol-water solution and pure ethanol. Due to the higher-than-expected losses in transmittance, the selected module was examined with use of the cross-sections taken along its length. The possible causes were highlighted and described. Likewise, the proposed areas of further investigations have been clearly described.
