mmWave Nano sensor Platform: Printed Digital Biomarker
Abstract
The research objective is to investigate the mmWave wireless biosensor platform using printed digital biomarkers. Digital biomarkers are RFID based extremely low power, low cost, and self sustainable printed wireless sensor. The digital biomarkers are fabricated by printing technology that can be easily integrated with the state of the art nano/bio technologies. For example, CNTs carbon based gas sensing materials or enzymes for protein detection can be printed on the metallic electrode to implement low cost fully printed biosensor. The chemical/physical reactions of the nano sensing materials printed on the electrode change electrical characteristics of the sensor in mmWave frequency range. The altered electrical characteristics modulate the input interrogation signal, and the signal is re radiated to the interrogator. The re radiated signal is collected and analyzed by an interrogator to detect the event. The interrogator can be any mobile device, such as a cell phone with 5G mmWave capability. The beam steering capability of mmWave mobile system enables interrogation of the biomarkers one by one in consecutive order.
