Microwave Sensor Systems for Detection of Biologically Significant Antigens (A Review)

The possibility of combining recognizing (sensitive) biological components with various converters creates a huge variety of biosensor systems. One promising area belongs to biosensor systems based on microwave resonators. The principle of operation of microwave sensors is based on a change in the resonant frequency of an electromagnetic resonator upon contact with the studied biological object. This review shows the possibilities of using microwave sensor systems and discusses the various options of conducting analysis when determining biomolecules (using antibiotics and disease markers, including glucose and antibodies, as an example). The presented results demonstrate the prospects of using microwave sensor systems to determine biomolecules and their further implementation for biomedical applications.
