A dual frequency microwave glucose biosensor is developed based on microwave
attenuation and is used for measuring the concentration of glucose content of fruit
juices. In this biosensor system two source frequencies 1GHz and 16.5GHz along
with the electronic switch were used to send the signal through the power divider to
the couple of microstrip sensors. Two wideband detectors were used to measure the
amplitude of the reflected signal from the sensor. The whole system was interfaced
to the labtop PC through the National Instruments data acquisition card, with the
help of software written in Labview graphical panel. It guides the user to perform
measurements easier and faster.

This biosensor is suitable for a broad range of glucose content ranging from 0.01M
to 3M (Molar) which can help to control the quality of the juice in food industry. It is
based on the variation of the dielectric properties of the glucose solution after
reacting with the enzyme (GOx). Therefore the glucose content of solution sample
can be finding by measuring the attenuation of the signal through the sample.
The microstrip sensor was fabricated using RT-Duriod with dielectric properties of
2.2-j0.002 as the substrate, with operating frequency at 16.5 GHz. Using this type of
coaxial sensor only the small part of sample is needed to contact with the microstrip
line, therefore the measurement can be done with lower cost, more accuracy and in a
shorter time.
Theoretical analysis based on quasi-transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM mode)
in four layered microstrip is carried out to evaluate design parameters such as
microstrip characteristic impedance, effective dielectric constant, length and
thickness due to the sensitivity of the sensor. The analysis of the complex
electromagnetic waves in this system is presented using signal flow graphs and
solved by Mason's non-touching loops rules. To this end Visual Fortran programs is
written and documented to evaluate all the design parameters needed and to estimate
the microstrip patterns.
In the other part of this study, investigation was made to find the optimum ratio of
enzyme reaction with glucose solution and highest sensitivity of this technique, with
the studying of the dielectric properties of the glucose samples. The ionic
conductivity and dipolar effect on the polarization of the glucose solution after

reacting with enzyme has been studied using two frequencies; one was below 2GHz
and one above that amount at room temperature.
In the purpose of verifying this sensing technique the results of the glucose solution
samples has been compared with the results for some type of fresh fruit juice
samples. It was found that the dielectric loss of the samples is affected by frequency,
concentration of glucose and ratio of enzyme reaction. The results of the different for
dielectric loss of the solution (glucose+ enzyme) and glucose, shows the changes are
preferable for derivation of glucose concentration.
The dual frequency biosensor was used to measure the attenuation and analysis of
the results at 1GHz and 16.5 GHz has been done completely. This biosensor tested
on four types of fruit juices in the range of 0.5M to 3.1M glucose concentration. The
biosensor has predicted glucose concentration with the accuracy of concentration
detection ±0.14 M using average method and can goes even up to ±0.13 M using
weighted average method. For the stability of this glucose biosensor, studying the
effect of operating time on the stability of this biosensor and enzyme behavior within
45 minutes of operating glucose at room temperature (25°C).
This microwave glucose biosensor has the limit of detection of glucose concentration
in solution in quiet higher than vivo measurement or medical application; therefore it
can be used more in food industry. Therefore the study of the development of the
dual frequency system using microwave technique will give benefit to the future
application of this technique application in food industries especially for products
such as juices, milk and etc, where both ionic conductivity and dipole effects are
considering simultaneously.

Satu biosensor glukosa dua frekuensi gelombang mikro dibangunkan berdasarkan
pengecilan gelombang mikro dan digunakan untuk mengukur kepekatan kandungan
glukosa jus buah-buahan. Dalam sistem biosensor ini dua frekuensi sumber 1 GHz
dan 16.5 GHz bersama-sama dengan suis elektronik digunakan untuk menghantar
isyarat melalui pembahagi kuasa kepada beberapa sensor microstrip. Dua pengesan

data National Instruments, dengan bantuan perisian yang ditulis dalam panel grafik
Labview. Ia memberi panduan kepada pengguna untuk melakukan pengukuran lebih
mudah dan cepat.
Biosensor ini sesuai untuk julat kandungan glukosa antara 0.01M ke 3M (Molar)
yang boleh membantu untuk mengawal kualiti jus dalam industri makanan. Ia adalah
berdasarkan perubahan sifat-sifat dielektrik larutan glukosa selepas bertindak balas
dengan enzim (GOx). Oleh itu, kandungan glukosa dalam larutan sampel
penyelesaian boleh dicari dengan mengukur pengecilan isyarat melalui sampel.
Sensor mikrostrip telah direka dengan menggunakan RT-Duriod dengan sifat-sifat
dielektrik 2.2 j0.002 sebagai substrat, dengan frekuensi operasi pada 16.5 GHz.
Dengan menggunakan jenis sensor sepaksi ini hanya sebahagian kecil daripada
sampel diperlukan untuk menyentuh talian mikrostrip, Oleh itu, pengukuran boleh
dilakukan dengan kos yang lebih rendah, ketepatan yang lebih dan dalam masa yang
singkat.
Analisis teori yang berdasarkan kuasi-melintang elektromagnet (TEM mod) dalam
empat lapisan mikrostrip gunakan untuk menilai reka bentuk parameter seperti
impedans ciri mikrostrip, pemalar dielektrik berkesan, panjang dan tebal disebakkan
sensitiviti sensor. Analisis gelombang elektromagnet yang kompleks dalam sistem
ini dibentangkan menggunakan graf aliran isyarat dan diselesaikan dengan petua
gelung Mason tak menyentuh. Untuk tujuan ini program Visual Fortran program-

diperlukan dan anggaran corak mikrostrip.
Di bahagian lain kajian ini, penyiasatan telah dibuat untuk mencari nisbah optimum
tindak balas enzim dengan larutan glukosa dan sensitiviti tertinggi teknik ini, dengan
menghaji sifat-sifat dielektrik sampel glukosa. Kekonduksian ionik dan kesan
dwikutub pada polarisasi larutan glukosa selepas bertindak balas dengan enzim telah
dikaji dengan menggunakan dua frekuensi; salah satu berada di bawah 2 GHz dan
satu lagi di atas amaun itu pada suhu bilik.
Untuk mengesahkan teknik penderiaan keputusan ini sampel larutan glukosa telah
dibandingkan dengan keputusan untuk beberapa jenis sampel jus buah-buahan segar.
Ini didapati bahawa kehilangan dielektrik sampel dipengaruhi oleh frekuensi,
kepekatan glukosa dan nisbah tindak balas enzim. Keputusan yang berlainan bagi
kehilangan dielektrik larutan (glukosa + enzim) dan glukosa, menunjukkan
perubahan yang lebih baik untuk terbitan kepekatan glukosa.
Biosensor frekuensi dual telah digunakan untuk mengukur pengecilan dan analisis
keputusan di 1 GHz dan 16.5 G Hz telah dilakukan sepenuhnya. Biosensor ini diuji
ke atas empat jenis jus buah-buahan dalam lingkungan 0.5 M untuk 3.1 M kepekatan
glukosa. Biosensor meramalkan kepekatan glukosa dengan ketepatan pengesanan
kepekatan ± 0.14 M menggunakan kaedah purata dan boleh sehingga ± 0.13 M
menggunakan kaedah purata wajaran. Kestabilan glukosa juga dengan mengkaji
kesan masa operasi pada kestabilan biosensor dan tingkah enzim dalam masa 45
minit bagi glukosa yang beroperasi pada suhu bilik (25 ° C).

Biosensor glukosa gelombang mikro ini mempunyai had pengesanan kepekatan
glukosa dalam tenang yang lebih tinggi daripada ukuran vivo atau aplikasi
perubatan, maka ia boleh digunakan dalam industri makanan. Oleh itu, kajian
pembangunan sistem dua frekuensi yang menggunakan teknik gelombang mikro
akan memberi manfaat kepada aplikasi masa hadapan teknik ini dalam industri
makanan terutamanya untuk produk seperti jus, susu dan lain-lain, di mana kedua-
dua kekonduksian ionik dan kesan dwikutub ditimbangkan serentah.
