Development of a slotted triangular patch antenna for microwave tomography

Abstract

This paper introduces a modified slotted triangular patch antenna for microwave tomography. We compare various designs based on different substrate materials, operating in free space and in front of different types of dielectric loading. Our designs are based on varying the distance of the slot from the base of the triangular patch, as well as the angle of the V slot. We also present a more compact version of the original design, which may be useful for microwave tomography.
