Planar Resonator based Sensor for Adulteration Detection

The development of microwave sensors for adulteration detection involves a comprehensive literature survey to identify various adulterants present. A microwave resonator is designed using simulation software, leveraging the variation in material properties to detect adulteration. Following design optimization, the sensor is fabricated and experimentally tested to validate simulation results, ensuring accuracy and reliability. Successful prototypes are then refined for productization, aiming to offer a practical solution for real-time adulteration detection in the food industry, ensuring consumer safety and maintaining oil quality standards.
