Broadband Blood Glucose Monitoring Using Waveguides From RF to Millimeter Wave Frequencies

Abstract

This paper presents results from an experimental broadband sensing method using five waveguides covering the frequency range between 7 to 60 GHz in order to study the impact of blood glucose concentration on measured transmission data. The measurement shows a sensitivity of the transmission parameter to glucose concentration, but also to temperature. Based on sensitivity results, a particular frequency band of interest proposed for the development of a potential non invasive glucometer.
