Abstract :
In this paper, S-parameters investigation of a variable incidence angle multilayer SPR biosensor is presented. Both magnitude and phase of the S-parameters are taken into account in the investigation. The work presented in this paper is the first attempt to apply S-parameters analysis to a multilayer SPR biosensor. The goal is to improve sensitivity through involving S-parameters including their phase values. In addition, further investigation is carried out to understand the relationship between the S-parameters and thickness of biomolecular layer and also the design parameters including the number of graphene layers.
