Abstract
A non-invasive analyte sensor includes at least one transmit antenna/element that functions to transmit a transmit signal in a radio or microwave frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum into a target containing an analyte of interest, and at least one receive antenna/element that functions to detect a response resulting from transmission of the transmit signal by the transmit antenna/element into the target. The transmit and receive antennas/elements are decoupled from one another which helps to improve the detection capability of the non-invasive analyte sensor. The decoupling between the transmit and receive antennas is achieved by using at least one intentionally fabricated configuration and/or arrangement therebetween that is sufficient to decouple the transmit antenna and the receive antenna from one another.
