dc.description.abstract | Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. X-ray mammography is currently the most effective detection technique, however it suffers from a relatively high missed- and false-detection rates, involves uncomfortable compression of the breast and also entails exposure to ionizing radiation. Microwave detection of breast tumours is a potential non-ionising alternative being investigated by a number of groups. In these microwave-based systems, in a similar fashion to ground penetrating radars, microwaves are transmitted from an antenna or antenna array, and the received signals, which contain reflections from tumours, are recorded and analysed. A pre-requisite for all of these systems is a suitable antenna. This contribution presents in detail for the first time, an inexpensive, wideband, planar antenna design, specifically designed to radiate into breast tissue. | en |
