Abstract
This book explains the multiple directions in which RF/microwave technologies are heading toward healthcare and biosensing applications, the achievements that have been made so far, and the challenges for researchers to solve in the near future. It consists of seven chapters by 15 authors, many of whom are active on the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Technical Coordinating Committee MTT-10, Biological Effects and Medical Applications. Apart from the first two chapters (which are tutorials on microwave technology and the dielectric properties of tissue), the book consists of five chapters that review different applications of RF/microwave energy to health care and biosensing. This book provides essential theories and solutions for the transmitter and receiver hardware block. The solutions offered are very practical for a circuit system designer. Whether the particular applications of RF/microwaves discussed in this volume will ever pass muster and enter the realm of evidence-based medicine remains to be seen. In their focus on the nuts and bolts of engineering, the authors of this otherwise meritorious volume are telling only a small part of the story about developing medical technology.
