Breast cancer tumour detection using microwave radar techniques

A breast cancer detection technique using multi-sta tic radar is proposed herein. Images of a breast t umour are produced using this technique, with backscatter data. A wide band antenna design suitable for a breast cancer de tection system is also described. Practical measurements are performed using a network analyser and a pair of antennas that are used to simulate an array. These initial images demonstrate the successful detection of a tumour phantom immersed in a liquid phantom with similar dielectric properties as the breast tissues.
