Sensors are devices that conv ert physical parameters such as temperature\, speed\, and force into meani ngful and electrically measurable signals for determining appropriate acti ons during decision making processes. The global sensor market was approxi mately $170 billion in 2019 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10% within the period of 2020 to 2026. The rapid gro wth rate in the sensor market presents a clear demand for accurate\, wirel ess\, and robust sensing devices. While the world has moved swiftly toward widespread implementation of smart sensors\, the continuous drive to impr ove sensitivity\, resolution\, durability\, and range of these devices is ever-present.\n\nMicrowave sensors\, among other sensor alternatives\, hav e demonstrated great potential in various sensing applications due to thei r simple fabrication process and compatibility with CMOS technology. They promise to offer integrated portable sensing platforms with wired and wire less communication interfaces for real-time monitoring and analysis purpos es. In order to advance the efficiency and precision of microwave sensors\ , various approaches have been taken including employing a liquid metal te chnique to enhance the tunability for microwave sensors\, integrating chem ical receptors into microwave sensors for selectivity enhancement purposes \, and introducing electromagnetic loss compensation methods to enhance th e resolution of these sensors. These efforts are followed by integrating t he sensing platform with antenna structures for wireless sensing applicati ons.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr Mohammad H.
