A low complexity RF based sensor array for lung disease detection using inkjet printing

This project was partially funded by the National Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation (Maarifah)—King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology—through the Science and Technology Unit at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM)—the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under grant number 15-MED-3742-04. Also, this project was supported by KFUPM-KAUST Project number KAUST-002. The authors would like to thank King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) for their support in fabrication and experimental validation of the proposed sensor.
