External collabolator: | Surgical robotics group |
Intorduction: | A variety of medical sensors are designed nowadays to be implanted directly into a human body. It is often desirable to be able to communicate, or locate, this sensors in a contactless way. One way of doing this is by using microwave signals. However, to get to the in-body sensor an EM wave have to go through a number of various tissues, such as skin, fat, and perhaps even bone. The ability of EM waves to penetrate body tissues however greatly depends on the frequency.
|
Description: | In this project, we would like to investigate tissue penetration capability of EM waves at different frequencies. The study will be based on extensive laboratory measurements. |
Requirements: | You are a motivated student looking for a Master thesis topic in the field of microwave sensing. You have interest in practically-oriented work, have basic knowledge and interest in microwaves and EM propagation, and you enjoy working in the lab environment. |
