Abstract :
The experimental and theoretical study of a low cost, and high sensitivity biosensor based on the Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) resonance at D-band is reported. The sensitivity, selectivity, and repeatability of the proposed sensor are examined and experimentally verified for different concentrations of glucose in water solution at 124.7 GHz.
