A wideband scalar network analyzer for biomedical dehydration measurements
Abstract:
This paper presents a wideband microwave approach towards biomedical dehydration monitoring. The introduced concept is verified via invasive measurements on several blood samples. A microwave measurement circuit, based of a two-port scalar vector network analyzer is presented. The circuit operates between 5GHz and 20GHz using a planar permittivity sensor. Measurements of all subcomponents are shown together with measurements of a Water-NaCl-Glycerol solution.
