ABSTRACT:
A reflector that reflects a microwave signal as a function of temperature is implanted within living tissue of a human. A microwave signal is transmitted to the reflector via an applicator in contact with the skin of the human. A portion of the signal reflected from the reflector is coupled via the applicator to a meter that provides an indication of the temperature of the reflector.
