Abstract : In this thesis a narrowband and compact antenna resonating at 6.1 GHz with a peak realized gain of 3.3 dBi is proposed to monitor the glucose concentration in the blood without taking invasive blood samples. Proposed antenna is printed on FR-4 substrate of compact dimensions 30 mm × 30 mm × 1.6 mm. The impedance bandwidth of this antenna ranges from 5.2 to 7.1 GHz. For measuring blood glucose levels, a human finger phantom model of dimensions 15 mm × 12 mm × 10 mm is constructed using the EM simulation (HFSS) environment. This model is consisting of multilayers: skin, fat, muscle, blood, and bone modeled at 6.1 GHz using various dielectric materials for various glucose concentrations. The finger phantom model is placed at different locations around the antenna to measure the frequency shift for monitoring glucose concentration in blood samples. The proposed finger phantom model is validated by conducting an experimental study of placing a real human finger around the fabricated antenna and measuring the frequency shift. This study shows a very good agreement with the results obtained by the simulated phantom model. The advantages and the outperformance of the proposed sensor are highlighted in terms of the high overall sensitivity obtained compared with other techniques given in the literature.
