Abstract:
Antenna-based biosensors have attracted an increasing research interest in the biomedical and healthcare community due to their reliability, sustainability, portability, scalability and cost-effectiveness. These benefits depend on a holistic functional design and modelling of the antenna subsystem. This paper presents the design and modelling of a novel elliptically-slotted patch antenna (ESPA) based biosensor that yields a total gain of 7.5 dBi. This novel biosensing antenna is label-free, amenable to real-time embedded circuit-emulating implementations and resistant to all solvents and reagents.
