Abstract

Breast cancer affects many women in many ways. Early diagnosis is the most important key for detecting malignant tissue. In this paper, we present the design of a microstrip patch antenna for ultra wide band (UWB) biomedical applications covering the full range of FCC frequencies (3.1 GHz to 14 GHz). We have used a single antenna with various positions to scan the whole breast phantom. A confocal microwave imaging (CMI) algorithm has been implemented and applied to create a 2D image of the tumor. The results obtained suggest the feasibility of using CMI method for detecting small breast tumors with high precision and more safety.
