Abstract
In this study, we explore a novel approach to measure blood glucose concentration in a non-invasive way using a compact defect ground structure (DGS) filter. This proposed approach is cost-effective, compact, and convenient. The sensor was designed using CST Microwave Studio. The size of the fabricated sensor is 40×40× .883 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> , which is suitable for hand-held use. The proposed sensor operates at 1.88 GHz and was able to achieve a good sensitivity relative to the change of glucose concentration. The proposed sensor is a potential candidate for non-invasive blood glucose monitoring applications.
