Abstract
In this study, the temperature effect of dielectric properties in various aqueous solutions containing glucose are examined. A design for a new testing chamber is introduced to provide improved conditions for testing to ensure accurate and precise measurements. A N-SMA Adaptor is used when obtaining dielectric characteristics of glucose solutions ranging 100-300mg/dl. Dielectric parameters are obtained adopting a modified Debye dispersion model. MATLAB is used to confirm coaxial dimensions are suitable fabrication designs using fixed dielectric parameters of air and water. Simulations and design models were implemented utilizing ANSYS High Frequency Structure Simulator and 3-D Modeler software to develop the custom housing for aqueous solutions. Each variation of liquid is tested over broadband frequencies ranging 20MHz-50GHz via broadband transmission line method. Each aqueous solution is tested at temperatures ranging 20˚C to 70˚C. Noticeable trends are found in this study showing dielectric characteristic dependencies of temperature in glucose solutions.
