    Five-Port Reflectometer is a microwave passivedevice where it implements the six-port algorithm to measure the complex reflection coefficient of material under test (MUT) through reflection on interface between MUT and microwave sensor. Initially, the Six-Port Reflectometer (SPR) was introduced by Engen in 1977 and major component used insix-port technique was designed in many types. When Riblet and Hanssonproposed ring junction with 5 ports only on 1981. Six ports ring junction has been reduced to five ports. In this paper, a dual frequency five ports ring junction circuit was designed, simulated and fabricated for reflection based sensing system. The fabricated five port ring junction is operating at frequencies of 0.64 GHz and 2.42 GHz. The measured result had good agreement with the simulated results for dual frequencies in terms of magnitude and phase.

    Bacterial meningitis is one of the most common and prominent infections which infects the central nervous system through the tissue layers and membranes that cover our brain and spinal cord. It is a staggering and fatal illness that kills patients within hours. The number of meningitis cases that has been recorded annually around the world are one million cases and 135,000 deaths. Early detection and start of sufficient treatment are considered as the main determinants for better result. MIT mechanism is noncontact electrodes of impedance measurement. This mechanism uses induction principle instead of contact electrodes to get the required information. This paper presents an overview on the potential of Magnetic induction tomography (MIT) in detecting meningitis disease. In MIT principle, single channel measurement process which consist of transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) coil has been studied. In this field is disclosed about passive electrical field (PEP) which focuses on the three parameters which are dielectric permittivity, electrical conductivity, and magnetic permeability. In addition, this research project involves experimental setup. The applied frequency is between 1–10 MHz. Finally, in this project, the performance of the square coil with 12 number of turns (5Tx–12Rx) with 10 MHz frequency has been identified as the suitable transmitter-receiver pair and the optimum frequency for detecting the conductivity property distribution of brain tissues.
