Measured results from the MIM sensor. Measured S21 for ethanol with different concentrations in channel A (a) and channel B (d), from 0% (DI water 100%) to 100%. (b) Corresponding resonant frequency, resonant frequency shift, (c) Q factor and resonant amplitude at different concentrations in channel A. (e) Corresponding resonant frequency, resonant frequency shift, (f) Q factor and resonant amplitude at different concentrations in channel B. Complex permittivity of binary ethanol-water mixtures at (g) 8.1 GHz (channel A) and (h) 6.6 GHz (channel B). The values are taken from reference 37 using linear curve-fitting of ORIGIN software. The Q factor is defined as f0/∆f3dB, where ∆f3dB is the +3 dB bandwidth of the minimum value of S21.
