Abstract

ABSTRACT In this study, a breast phantom measurement system based on radar-based microwave imaging technique is proposed. For this purpose, a small-size Vivaldi antenna with high gain and ultra-wide band is designed. The antenna bandwidth is in the range of 3–10.6 GHz, and the maximum realized gain is 8.5 dB. The size of the antenna is 36 × 36 mm2, and FR4 was used as dielectric material. Bandwidth and gain are increased by using edge slots. After the antenna hardware had been manufactured with PCB printed circuit technology, a mechanism was developed to measure breast phantom. After the measurement process is completed, a computer program converts the collected signals into images. For the testing of the system, canola oil was used as a phantom and the object in the oil was successfully imaged.

一种用于乳腺体模测量系统的新型增益增强Vivaldi天线

本研究提出了一种基于雷达微波成像技术的乳房幻像测量系统。为此，设计了一种小尺寸、高增益、超宽带的维瓦尔第天线。天线带宽在3-10.6 GHz范围内，最大实现增益为8.5 dB。天线尺寸为36 × 36 mm2，采用FR4作为介质材料。利用边缘槽增加了带宽和增益。在采用PCB印刷电路技术完成天线硬件制造后，研制了一种乳房虚影测量机构。测量过程完成后，计算机程序将采集到的信号转换成图像。在系统的测试中，以菜籽油为原型，成功地对其中的物体进行了成像。
