Microwave Noninvasive Blood Glucose Monitoring Sensor: Penetration Depth and Sensitivity Analysis

摘要

Previously reported clinical performances of microwave noninvasive blood glucose monitoring sensor look promising. It is clear that dielectric properties are changing when the food intake takes place, but the exact physiological mechanism is not clear. In an attempt to figure out the physiological mechanism of microwave noninvasive blood glucose monitoring sensor, this paper presents a series of studies to find out a) the penetration depth of the microwave resonator-based sensor and b) the effect of permittivity variation of human tissues on the microwave resonator parameters.
