A Novel Antenna System for Body Temper- Ature Change Detection Appropriate for Multi-channel Microwave Radiometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
A planar inverted F antenna is combined with passive (reactively loaded) elements in order to implement a multi-frequency configuration appropriate for biomedical applications in microwave frequencies. A case study of an electronically Reconfigurable PIFA (R-PIFA) is pursued for the detection of temperature abnormalities in human tissue phantom using microwave radiometry, where the performance of the structure is optimized with respect to input impedance matching in multiple frequencies. The optimization of the array is performed using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) tool as a method of choice. Due to its limited physical size, the proposed R-PIFA can also be used as a portable antenna system for deployment in mobile medical applications.

A compact microstrip-fed antenna with dual notched bands is proposed. First, a simple basic configuration is presented for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications and then the dual band notched structure is extended from the UWB one. The basic structure of the UWB antenna consists of a simple square radiating patch and a ground plane with a wide square slot on back of the substrate. A semi-circle sh...
متن کاملVisibility of breast malignancy by microwave radiometry: preliminary results on a real antenna
In microwave radiometry for early detection of breast malignancy a contacting antenna is scanned on the breast surface, while a pressure is exercised along with a deformation. Assuming the antenna at lower temperature than the breast, the results of a numerical modeling show an interesting increase in tumor radiometric visibility in compressed breast. Preliminary results on a real radiometric a...
