RDRA Sensor for Primal Detection of Breast Cancer Cells in Women

Abstract

Currently, wide band radio frequency sensor based technology is gaining momentum for primitive stage breast cancer detection. The most promising instrument to replace or supplement the present X-ray mammography for cancer detection is the rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (RDRA) sensor. In this research work, a RDRA is proposed as key sensor part which leads to design of smart data acquisition system for breast cancer. Presented design resonates in Lower European frequency band providing impedance bandwidth of 48% for frequency range of 2.9-4.7 GHz. Consequently, the peak gain of 4dB was obtained through proposed RDRA antenna. High radiation efficiency, compact size of the antenna makes it perfectly suitable to be employed as a sensor for early cancer detection. Compare to conventional antenna this RDRA sensor provide better feature with cancer tissue detection with accuracy and improve image resolution. Proposed antenna can be integrated with wide band wireless communication for Wi-Fi and LTE communication, Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications.
