Abstract
An analyte sensor that detects an analyte via spectroscopic techniques using frequencies in the radio or microwave frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The analyte sensor is configured to permit adjustment of the position(s) of one or more transmit components and/or the position(s) of one or more receive components. Adjusting position (or the like) as used in the description and claims includes changing an angle of the transmit component(s) and/or the receive component(s), and/or moving the transmit component(s) and/or the receive component(s) in one or more X, Y, Z directions, and/or changing a shape of the transmit component(s) and/or the receive component(s), and any combinations thereof.
Claims27
A method of detection of an analyte using a non-invasive analyte sensor, comprising:
- adjusting, from a first detecting position to a second detecting position, at least one transmit component of the non-invasive analyte sensor and/or at least one receive component of the non-invasive analyte sensor;
- with the at least one transmit component and/or the at least one receive component at the second detecting position, transmitting a transmit signal into a target containing the analyte using at least one transmit antenna of the non-invasive analyte sensor, the transmit signal is in a radio or microwave frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum, and detecting a response, using at least one receive antenna of the non-invasive analyte sensor, that results from transmission of the transmit signal into the target.
A method of detection of an analyte in a target using a non-invasive analyte sensor, comprising:
- with at least one transmit component of the non-invasive analyte sensor and/or at least one receive component of the non-invasive analyte sensor at a first detecting position, transmitting a first transmit signal that is in a radio or microwave frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum into the target containing the analyte using at least one transmit antenna and detecting a first response, using at least one receive antenna, that results from transmission of the first transmit signal into the target;
- adjusting, from the first detecting position to a second detecting position, the at least one transmit component and/or the at least one receive component;
- with the at least one transmit component and/or the at least one receive component at the second detecting position, transmitting a second transmit signal that is in a radio or microwave frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum into the target using the at least one transmit antenna and detecting a second response, using the at least one receive antenna, that results from transmission of the second transmit signal into the target.
