The homodyne sensor consists of a multiplier chain, a balun-based power divider, an on-chip transducer, and IQ mixers. Differently, the heterodyne sensor requires an additional multiplier chain; however, it waives one mixer and a power divider, leading to reduced losses and alleviated power consumption. Fabricated using 0.13 µm SiGe BiCMOS technology, the homodyne and heterodyne sensors take 4 mm&amp;nbsp;2&amp;nbsp;and 5.2 mm&amp;nbsp;2&amp;nbsp;, and consume 400 mW and 499 mW, respectively. By experiments, both designed homodyne and heterodyne sensors can effectively sense the dielectric parameters of the samples. Moreover, the heterodyne sensor can address the DC offset issues with merely 99 mW additional power.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
