Simulation of RF Patch Antenna Sensor for Biological Applications

Abstract

Diabetes affects hundreds of millions of people globally, and is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Patients must regularly monitor their blood glucose concentration to manage the disease. A non-invasive way of glucose monitoring using biosensor has emerged as an alternative technique. This work describes a contemporary approach of using patch antenna sensor in estimating the glucose level in blood. Focus of this work is to perform

Modeling and development of radio frequency planar interdigital electrode sensors

“…For our work, this sensor was developed for non-invasive blood glucose sensing applications where the change in glucose concentrations is detected via change in capacitance and thus its permittivity. The ideal range of frequency for blood glucose detection is 1-3 GHz [11,12]. In order to achieve higher Q, the electrode width was selected to be between 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm.…”
