Negative index metamaterial-based frequency-reconfigurable textile cpw antenna for microwave imaging of breast cancer
In this paper, we report the design and development of a metamaterial (MTM)-based di�rectional coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed reconfigurable textile antenna using radiofrequency (RF) varactor diodes for microwave breast imaging. Both simulation and measurement results of the proposed MTM-based CPW-...

| description | In this paper, we report the design and development of a metamaterial (MTM)-based di�rectional coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed reconfigurable textile antenna using radiofrequency (RF)
varactor diodes for microwave breast imaging. Both simulation and measurement results of the
proposed MTM-based CPW-fed reconfigurable textile antenna revealed a continuous frequency re�configuration to a distinct frequency band between 2.42 GHz and 3.2 GHz with a frequency ratio of
2.33:1, and with a static bandwidth at 4–15 GHz. The results also indicated that directional radiation
pattern could be produced at the frequency reconfigurable region and the antenna had a peak gain
of 7.56 dBi with an average efficiency of more than 67%. The MTM-based reconfigurable antenna
was also tested under the deformed condition and analysed in the vicinity of the breast phantom.
This microwave imaging system was used to perform simulation and measurement experiments on
a custom-fabricated realistic breast phantom with heterogeneous tissue composition with image
reconstruction using delay-and-sum (DAS) and delay-multiply-and-sum (DMAS) algorithms.
Given that the MWI system was capable of detecting a cancer as small as 10 mm in the breast phan�tom, we propose that this technique may be used clinically for the detection of breast cancer. |
