Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, an Archimedean spiral antenna-based biosensor has been proposed for the early detection of breast tumor. By monitoring the variation of S11 over 1–3.5 GHz frequency range, the proposed scheme can identify the tumor location, as well as distinguish the types of tumor (benign or malignant) based on shapes and dielectric properties contrast. To validate the concept, full wave simulation using CST microwave suite are performed along with VNA based experimental measurements on breast phantoms and tumors, prepared by easily available materials like glass, petroleum jelly, mixture of water and wheat flour. The demonstrated device is able to detect the tumor of less than 1 mm in radius and positioned anywhere in 5 × 5 × 5 cm of breast fat. The proposed method is easy to use, low cost, safe, comfortable, non-invasive and non- ionizing in nature.
