Design of Microstrip Patch Antenna to Detect Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is an invasive disease in women which needs early detection. There are many techniques like that of magnetic resonance imaging, mammography, digital mammography and computer aided detection as these techniques have their limitations, and an alternative method is implemented and is presented in this paper. Here MSPA (Micro Strip Patch Antenna) is used to detect the tumor in the Breast Phantom. Antenna is designed using computer simulation technology for ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) of frequency 2.45GHz. The antenna is fabricated and tested using the Network Analyzer.
