Microwave Radiometry for Internal Body Temperature Monitoring
Summary
References
Preliminary Setup- Based on off-the-shelf components -
Antenna temperature (TA) and top water layerthermocouple measurement (Tt1) along with radiometricestimate of the subsurface water layer (Tv3) andthermocouple measurement (Tt3) as the system reachesequilibrium after subsurface water layer heated to 44°C.
Main Results Temperature Retrieval

Wv3
Radiometric estimate of the temperature above a waterhalf-space (Tv) using 1.4 GHz radiometer is compared tothe measured thermocouple temperature (Tt). The wateris heated to 44°C and the measured data shows thecooling when placed at room temperature.
• Comparison of raw radiometer estimate andthermocouple measurement shows an error of 0.4°Cto 1.1°C. The discrepancy over time is probably dueto an incorrect assumption of the feed temperature(Tf), and/or changes in the weighting function overtime due to the changing dielectric properties.
Measurement setup on three-layer phantom:(1) 10.3mm water (2) Glass pyrex dish(3) 7cm water
𝐓𝐀 = TuWu + TfWf+Tv1Wv1 + Tv2Wv2+Tv3Wv3
The motivation for internal body temperaturemeasurements, and a possible non-invasive approachwith an external device is presented.
A 1.4GHz folded-dipole probe and radiometer isdesigned with off-the-shelf components, and used fora proof-of-principle demonstration with one-layerand three-layer (water-glass-water) phantoms.
The estimated temperature shows an accuracy of0.4°C compared to thermocouple measurements.
Current research and challenges:• Improve temperature estimation accuracy• Reduce RF interference by miniaturization,
integration and new probe design• Perform measurements with better phantoms and
improve calibration

Introduction to the ProblemBlack body radiation: all materials at non-zerotemperature emit electromagnetic radiation over allfrequencies (Plank’s law, Rayleigh-Jeans law). At microwave frequencies (1-30GHz), sensitive
radiometers are used to detect the radiated power. Temperature of an object can be deduced from the
very low measured power. At microwave frequencies, EM waves penetrate body
tissues as much as 3-7 cm and can be used forinternal temperature sensing.
Microwave Thermometry• Knowledge of internal (core) body temperature
important for health diagnostics and therapy: Athletes and soldiers under heavy training;
e.g. long duration of exercise in heat Cancer cells have increased temperature
compared to surrounding tissues Inflamed tissues, e.g. in arthritis patients, have
elevated temperatures Sleeping disorders are accompanied by
changes in the circadian cycle, which in turn isaccompanied by changes in phase andamplitude of periodic difference between thecore body and peripheral temperatures
Infants suffering from hypoxia-ischemia havean elevated brain temperature, and if detectedcan be treated by hypothermic neural rescue
During tissue ablation (laser, ultrasonic ormicrowave), it is important to monitortemperature of surrounding tissues
Power received by a radiometer: 𝑃 = 𝑘𝑇𝐴𝐵- TA is the temperature in Kelvin- B is the radiometer bandwidth- k =1.3810-23 J/K (Boltzmann constant)
• A near-field probe antenna is placed on the skin• The probe is connected to a Dicke radiometer• Radiometer receives black-body power from all
layers• Electromagnetic modeling needed to estimate
temperatures of the different layers

• Antenna temperature (TA) is a weighted average ofthe temperature of the surrounding objects, andtherefore weighting functions (W) will be used todefine the antenna temperature.
