CPC H04B 1/0458 (2013.01) [H03H 7/38 (2013.01); H01P 5/18 (2013.01)] | 20 Claims |
1. A novel electromagnetic (EM)-based diagnostics and monitoring system for the non-Invasive diagnosis and monitoring of in-vivo and ex-vivo Skin Anomalies, comprising: an EM sensor including a plurality of components operating within the radio-frequency portion of the spectrum from 30 MHz-300 GHz, wherein the plurality of components include an integrated circuit operably coupled to a printed circuit board; wherein the plurality of components include an EM sensor that interacts with a specimen under test, the EM sensor synthesizes a radio-frequency signal, and the specimen under test energizes the EM sensor; the EM sensor captures incident and reflected waves from the specimen under test, and the EM sensor performs signal processing operations at RF and low frequencies including filtering, coupling, amplification, attenuation, and down-conversion, processes, and collects the obtained data; and the EM sensor applies a plurality of algorithms to extract the constituency, characteristics, and properties of the specimen under test; wherein the specimen under test is an in-vivo or ex-vivo skin anomaly including skin cancer, benign tumors, or other skin diseases; and the plurality of algorithms provide diagnostic decisions based on the collected response through the EM sensor by a measured incident, reflected and transmitted wave properties including an S-parameter response.
