Assessment of Signal Transmission using Microwave Sensors for Health Monitoring Applications

Abstract

This paper presents a microwave sensor consisting of a two port transmission through split ring resonators (SRRs) for biomedical monitoring measurements. The microwave sensing system is designed to operate with a high quality factor (Q) at industrial, scientific and medical radio (ISM) band 2.45 GHz. An embedded coplanar permittivity sensor will be applied for measurements of two model of an equivalent phantom for human tissues. A specific application in the framework of non-invasive sensor for health monitoring application is considered, by providing both numerical as well as experimental results.
