Abstract
A non-invasive sensor suitable for measuring the depth of fat in animal tissue is described, the sensor generating and transmitting focussed discrete narrow band microwave signals into the tissue, receiving reflected microwave signals from the tissue and providing magnitude and phase information of the reflected microwave signals for a processor to compute a value of the fat depth within the tissue.
