Glycemic Profile Monitoring Using CPW Line Excited Electric LC Resonator Based RF Biosensor

Glycemic profile monitoring on a regular basis is a useful medical intervention for diabetes. Microwave sensors are potential candidates for glucose level measurement due to some promising features such as simple, non-invasive, accurate and label free measurements. In this work, a circular electric LC (ELC) resonator excited by coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line operating in C-band (4-8GHz) is proposed for glycemic profile monitoring. The blood serum is utilized for preparation of analytes of various dextrose concentration varying from 70 to 200mg/dL. ELC resonator based sensor achieved a good sensitivity of 3.65 MHz/mg.dL
