Abstract
In this paper, a fluidic glucose sensor that is based on a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) is proposed for the microwave frequency region. The detection of glucose with different concentrations from 0 mg/dL to 400 mg/dL in a non-invasive manner is possible by introducing a fluidic system. The glucose concentration can be continuously monitored by tracking the transmission coefficient S21 as a sensing parameter. The variation tendency in S21 by the glucose concentration is analyzed with equivalent circuit model. In addition, to eradicate the systematic error due to temperature variation, the sensor is tested in two temperature conditions: the constant temperature condition and the time-dependent varying temperature condition. For the varying temperature condition, the temperature correction function was derived between the temperature and the variation in S21 for DI water. By applying the fitting function to glucose solution, the subsidiary results due to temperature can be completely eliminated. As a result, the S21 varies by 0.03 dB as the glucose concentration increases from 0 mg/dL to 400 mg/dL.
