APPLICATION OF RF SPECTROSCOPY FOR BLOOD GLUCOSE MEASUREMENT
ABSTRACT The design and the fabrication of RF characteristics measurement cell to estimate the constituents of human blood is described in this manuscript. The human blood has over 100 constituents of which glucose and cholesterol are important parameters which needs to be quantified for monitoring health parameters. It is necessary to find out the level of glucose in blood separately in order to determine the level of Cholesterol more accurately. Hence the authors propose a quick, portable and low-cost device which could be used to monitor the level of glucose and other important parameters. This manuscript includes the data obtained for Glucose dissolved in water as per percentage found in the human blood. The data will be fed to a multivariate system programmed in a FPGA device to estimate the glucose concentration. The results shown here are in the RF range of 10MHz-4GHz
