Abstract
In this paper, we present a new microfluidic microwave sensor loaded with a star-slotted patch for detecting the quality of edible oil. The relative dielectric permittivity and the quality of edible oil will change after being heated at a high temperature. Therefore, the quality of edible oil can be detected by measuring the relative dielectric permittivity of edible oil. The sensor is used to determine the edible oil with different dielectric permittivity by measuring the resonance frequency offset of the input reflection coefficient, which operates at 2.68 GHz. This sensor is designed based on a resonant approach to provide the best sensing accuracy and is implemented using a substrate integrated waveguide structure combined with a pentagonal slot antenna operating at 2.3~2.9 GHz. It can detect greasy liquids with the real part of the complex permittivity ranging from two to three.
