Abstract
In this paper, a small antenna is proposed to diagnose skin sarcoma from the embryonic stage to the metastasis stage. The prototype consists of a new antenna structure with a surface of 31.3 x 15.65 mm2 and a 35 μm copper sheet engraved on a 1.6 mm FR-4 substrate. The diagnosis is based on the shift in resonance frequency when the antenna is positioned on malignant tissue. For the simulations, a three-layer body Phantom (skin, fat, and muscle) and a half-sphere tumor Phantom were considered. Simulations of antenna performances showed that for a tumor of 26.17 mm3, the resonance frequency decreases by 7.5 MHz. Measurements made on the prototype of the designed antenna show an adequacy between the results of the measurement and those of the simulation.
