Abstract: This paper presents a new compact triple-band elliptical microstrip resonator for noninvasive microwave-based glucose sensing using a thumb-contact configuration. The proposed sensor employs concentric elliptical rings with a localized slot and capacitive coupling to enhance electric-field confinement in the sensing region. A multilayer cylindrical thumb phantom incorporating dispersive tissue models and glucose-dependent blood permittivity is utilized to emulate realistic on-body conditions. Full-wave simulations in the 2-6 GHz band demonstrate three dominant glucose-sensitive resonances with monotonic frequency shifts over a concentration range of 0-600 mg/dL. The frequency deviation rates are 0.147, 0.64, and 1.037 MHz/(mg/dL), respectively, with the highest linearity reaching R² ≈ 0.98. By distributing sensing across multiple resonant modes, the proposed approach enables frequency-diverse feature extraction suitable for multivariate regression, improving robustness against contact variability and tissue heterogeneity compared to single-band configurations.
