Medical and Biological Microwave Sensors and Systems

Isar Mostafanezhad is a firmware system engineer at the Instrumentation Development Lab in the Department of Physics at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. He is also co-founder of Diamondhead Research in Honolulu, where he has developed an RF based wearable tag for limb movement monitoring. Olga Boric-Lubecke is a professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. She co-founded and served as Chief Technical Advisor for Kai Medical, and has previously worked at Bell Laboratories, researching RF integrated circuit technology and the biomedical applications of wireless systems. Jenshan Lin is a professor at the University of Florida as well as a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Previously he has worked at Bell Laboratories and has published extensively on the subject of wireless sensors and biomedical applications of microwave technologies.

'This book is one of the most comprehensive texts available to date in the area covering multiple biological and medical applications of microwave sensors. … In my opinion, this is a must-read for the traditional microwave research community with limited medical research background to explore possible biomedical applications of their research. Also, it is a great resource for medical professionals of non-engineering background to explore the new technology which microwave engineers can offer in [the] near-future. This book may also be used as a textbook or graduate level courses in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, and medical physics.' Muhammad Zubair, Contemporary Physics
