Multislot Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna Design to Detect Breast Cancer

Abstract

The most typical cancer among women is breast cancer. It has the highest rate of occurrence and death. Breast cancer has become the leading cause of death among women worldwide in recent years. To avoid significant effects, early detection of malignant tissue is the most crucial aspect. X-ray mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound scanning can all be used to detect cancer cells in the breast. Microwave imaging overcomes some of the disadvantages of these approaches. In this paper, we proposed a new design for a multislot rectangular microstrip patch antenna that can detect breast cancers in the required FCC range (3.1 GHz - 10.6 GHz). The antenna is made of FR4 epoxy, which has a dielectric permittivity of 4.4 and a loss tangent of 0.02. It is designed and simulated with high-frequency simulation software (HFSS). The results show that the proposed antenna is a good candidate for the detection of breast cancer.
