An LC Wireless Microfluidic Sensor Based on Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Technology
This work reports a novel wireless microfluidic biosensor based on low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology. The wireless biosensor consists of a planar spiral inductor and parallel plate capacitor (LC) resonant antenna, which integrates with microchannel bends in the LTCC substrate. The w...
