A New mmWave Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna for Breast Tumor Detection

EasyChair Preprint no. 12197

Abstract

An inset feed microstrip patch antenna created for biological purposes is presented in this paper. The feed line length and radiating patch width were increased to their full potential, which boosted the antenna's performance. The antenna is 4.7x4.7x0.508 mm³ and operates in the Q band, also known as the Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. At 1.19 GHz, the antenna exhibits excellent efficiency with a 91.65% bandwidth. The antenna has a three-layer breast phantom incorporated into it, and other performance factors, such as the electric field intensity and reflection coefficient, are affected by the presence of a tumor. It is possible to pinpoint the tumor's position and size by keeping an eye on changes in the antenna's return loss and transmission coefficient.

Keyphrases: Breast tumor, mmWave imaging, radiation efficiency, return loss, S-parameters, SAR
