Abstract :
The complex permittivity of blood is changed by the change of glucose concentration in millimeter-waves. In this paper, a new technique is proposed to obtain blood glucose level using resonant applicator and measuring reflection coefficient. It is found that by measuring the reflection change using newly developed high sensitivity applicator, blood glucose level can be obtained in vivo.
