Bistatic configurational analysis of ultra-wideband antenna for detection applications

Abstract

<span>With the advancement in technology, antennae are becoming a popular components to be used in various applications. Following the trend, a compact design of ultra-wideband (UWB) bistatic configuration of the antenna is presented in this paper using ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology specifically for detection applications. The antenna is first designed and simulated using defected ground structure (DGS) for impedance bandwidth with the obtained gain of around 6.2 dB and return losses from 3-16 GHz. Later the complete detection model is aimed to study and for this purpose CST is used to model human skin and performed an experiment based on antennas i.e. transmitter and receiver, obstacle and target, to study and analyze the received antenna reflections for detection purpose.</span>

Design of compact ultra wideband antenna for microwave medical imaging application

“…There are include for example, the detection of invisible of objects such as steel rebars or dowel and even detection of breast cancer cells [1,2]. The ultra wideband (UWB) antenna is high in gain, wide bandwidth, compact in structure and consumption of power is less compared to other microwave frequency bands [3,4]. Among various possible antenna, the UWB microstrip antenna design is chosen due to low operating power, good noise immunity, compact in size and potentially very high data rates if its operates at high frequency.…”

Ultra-Wideband Antenna with Monostatic/Bistatic Configurations for Search & Rescue Applications

“…The UWB assigned band is 3.1-10.6 GHz, which contributes advantageous properties such as less consumption of power as compared to other frequency bands, less implementation cost, and the lower frequency band of UWB make this technology capable of obstacle penetration [2]. The advantages of UWB, possess a number of applications in the field of communication engineering and radars mainly ground-penetrating radar (GPR), as well as in imaging and positioning [3,4].…”

A confocal microwave imaging implementation for breast cancer detection

“…Microwave imaging is the golden diagnostic tool for medical imaging modality developed over the past few years. This technique offers many interesting advantages for breast cancer like low cost, non-invasive, more safety, and high accuracy [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Confocal Microwave Imaging (CMI) has been proposed as a method to detect tumors by analyzing the scattered signals from the breast.…”
