A device and method for the non-invasive measurement of blood glucose
concentrations by millimeter waves. The device includes a millimeter wave
generator; a TE10 mode rectangular waveguide transmitting a millimeter
wave generated by the millimeter wave generator; and a plane parallel
plate chosen to yield a minimal point of the power reflection coefficient
of the millimeter wave incident to and reflected from the dielectric
object under test via the TE10 mode rectangular waveguide and the plane
parallel plate. The device also includes power detectors detecting the
powers of the incident wave generated by the millimeter wave generator
and the reflected wave from the dielectric object via the plane parallel
plate; a temperature sensor measuring a temperature of the dielectric
object; and a reader reading the minimum power reflection coefficient and
a corresponding frequency from the incident and reflected wave detected
by the power detectors.
