Abstract

The design of an innovative breast model system that focuses on a wideband for the detection of malignant tumours is described. The planned antenna has an overall area of 18×28 mm² and a fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 99% across a frequency spectrum of 3.4-10 GHz. The suggested antenna has excellent impedance matching, a considerable gain of 3.95 dBi, maximum efficiency of 96.98%. Omnidirectional radiated patterns are verified in the frequency, and time-domain analysis is also investigated for breast tumor diagnosis. For detecting a breast tumor with accuracy, the suggested antenna S₂₁ parameters are evaluated together, including imaging outcomes of current densities and specific absorption rate (SAR). These findings show that the radiator and the whole system work well at finding the tumor.
