Abstract

We have developed an electromagnetic microwave cavity sensor based on the resonant frequency shift for real time measurement of the glycemia in pig blood. We could determine the concentration of d-glucose in pig blood in the range of 150–550mg/dl at the resonance frequency near 4.75GHz with a bandwidth of 300MHz. The change in the d-glucose concentration in blood brings microwave reflection coefficient S11 changes of about 6.26dB and resonance frequency shifts of about 11.25MHz due to the electromagnetic interaction between the cavity resonator and the blood filled plastic tube inserted into the cavity. This proposed system provides a unique approach for real time noninvasive and contactless glucose monitoring.
