Abstract
Acoustic metamaterials can be exploited to develop new concepts for passive, implantable sensors interrogated by ultrasound. Tissue introduces scattering and attenuation, which may affect the performance of such sensing devices. In this work, we assess the temperature sensitivity of a passive acoustic metamaterial in presence of tissue mimicking materials (TMMs), which are artificial materials with similar acoustic properties to real tissues. We demonstrate that the sensor is still detectable by ultrasound and the presence of TMMs does not affect the temperature sensitivity of the sensor.
