Abstract

A compact ultra-wide band antenna for breast cancer detection in bio-medical applications is presented in this study. The proposed antenna is printed on 1.6 mm thick FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.6 and tangential loss of 0.02. The uniform ground plane on the substrate (PCB) has been altered by shortening its length and making minimal changes to its side edges in order to improve overall bandwidth. The suggested antenna is functioning from 3 to 10.2 GHz which covers the ultra-wide band recommended by Federal Communication Commission (FCC) over the 10 dB impedance bandwidth. Additionally, the antenna has a significant overall gain of 3.2 dBi and an overall radiation efficiency of between 89 % and 92 %. Furthermore, the antenna maintains a uniform radiation pattern across its operating band. Parametric research has been conducted on the different parameters to tune the antenna into the required operating band, and placement analysis of the antenna is then investigated by assessing specific absorption rate (SAR).
