Claim 12:
13. A non-invasive analyte sensor device, comprising:
a sensor housing;
a detector array attached to the sensor housing, the detector array having at least one transmit element and at least one receive element, the at least one transmit element and the at least one receive element are configured to be arranged adjacent to a target containing at least one analyte of interest;
the at least one transmit element has a longitudinal axis, first and second ends, and first and second side edges;
the at least one receive element has a longitudinal axis, first and second ends, and first and second side edges;
the at least one transmit element and the at least one receive element are arranged side-by-side with the longitudinal axis of the at least one transmit element parallel to the longitudinal axis of the at least one receive element;
the at least one transmit element has a geometry that differs from a geometry of the at least one receive element;
the first and second side edges of the at least one transmit element are parallel to one another;
the first and second side edges of the at least one receive element are parallel to one another;
the at least one transmit element and the at least one receive element have a maximum spacing therebetween that does not exceed 50 mm and a minimum spacing therebetween that is at least 1.0 mm;
the at least one transmit element consists essentially of a strip of conductive material;
the at least one receive element consists essentially of a strip of conductive material;
a transmit circuit and a receive circuit disposed in the sensor housing;
the transmit circuit is electrically connectable to the at least one transmit element, the transmit circuit is configured to generate a transmit signal to be transmitted by the at least one transmit element, and the transmit signal has a frequency that is in a range of between about 10 kHz to about 100 GHz;
the receive circuit is electrically connectable to the at least one receive element, and the receive circuit is configured to receive a response detected by the at least one receive element resulting from transmission of the transmit signal by the at least one transmit element into the target containing the at least one analyte of interest.
