Abstract

A microwave monopole patch antenna was designed to operate at a dual-band frequency of 2.6 to 3.1 GHz (lower band) and 4.3 to 5.8 GHz (upper band) for breast cancer detection. The antenna was created in CST simulation software, and a breast phantom was created to optimize the results. The simulation was conducted for the antenna only and then for the combination of the breast phantom for case one without a tumour and case two with a tumour both exposed to the antenna. The antenna is designed for a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms and is fabricated using FR4 substrate technology.
