Data about concentration of one or more types of molecules present within a human body are determined noninvasively using radio frequency signals. These signals generated at very low power levels are emitted and acquired using an antenna mounted to a wearable device. Information about changes to the signals is indicative of the concentration of one or more types of molecules within the user. The antenna includes two or more elements with a varying distance between them which reduces or eliminates power reflection and improves overall efficiency. The varying distance provides a first impedance at terminals of the antenna and a second impedance elsewhere on the antenna, such as midway along a long axis of the antenna. The first impedance matches an impedance of a transmitter output, a receiver input, or both. The second impedance results in the signal extending away from the antenna towards the user.
