A low-cost UWB microwave imaging system for early-stage breast cancer detection

[EN] In this paper, a modern and effective approach with high resilience for microwave imaging of breast tumor detection using 12 antennas is presented. The proposed antenna array operates from 3.1 GHz to 11.6 GHz according to FCC frequencies, which enables the imaging system to mix two advantages a...
