Microwave imaging is acquiring a growing importance in several biomedical applications, such as breast and brain stroke diagnosis and monitoring. In this work, a preliminary feasibility analysis concerning the application of such a technique to the monitoring of cervical myelopathy is reported. In particular, suitable working conditions are...

The design and numerical simulations of a microwave sensor for the moisture content of traditional Carasau bread is presented in this paper. The results highlight the ability of a simple patch antenna to discriminate small percentage variations in water content in the food product, avoiding misinterpretations due to other parameters...

Water content estimation is of capital importance during the production process of the Carasau bread. A suitable microwave sensor could help monitor the moisture level in a non-invasive and reliable way. A simple narrowband patch antenna is proven to be more performing than dual band or wideband antennas. Magnitude and phase of the scattering...

Within the framework of the recent agri-food technological advancement, the design and validation of a methodology for the water content estimation in the Carasau bread manufacturing process is herein presented. Following a thorough evaluation of the dough dielectric properties, a suitable antenna layout has been selected, pointing out the...
