Abstract
In this article, a compact dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with two ‘C’ shaped dielectric resonators has been used for the detection of early breast cancer. It is three-layered antenna structure that contains a substrate of FR4, defected ground plane of perfect conducting material, i.e., copper and dielectric resonator or patch of alumina. The proposed DRA is placed parallel to the spherical breast phantom model. The DRA transmits the UWB signals toward the breast surface and record the back scattered signals at an interval of 30°. If there is tumor, then received signals are different from that signals which are recorded without the presence of the tumor. This occurs due to the different electrical properties of the different layers (skin, fat and tumor) of breast phantom. The recorded resultant signals are further used in delay and sum algorithm that helps to remove the unwanted skin reflections. The proposed DRA and breast mimic are modeled and simulated in CST V’2017. It is designed to operate with ultra-wideband frequency range of 5.6–10.4 GHz with impedance bandwidth of 4.8 GHz with overall dimensions of 25 × 30 mm2.
