Focused microwave breast hyperthermia (FMBH) is a promising breast cancer treatment approach. The FMBH mechanism uses a phased antenna array to deliver microwave power into a breast and takes advantage of beamforming to focus microwave fields at a tumor. By this manner, the tumor is efficiently heated while the rest normal tissues receive less energy. This work studies the effect of number of elements in the phased array antenna used in FMBH by computational modeling. Simulations are conducted and obtained results prove that using more antennas can enhance the focusing. This work is meaningful for related areas of microwave hyperthermia.","PeriodicalId":171472,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Biomedical Conference (IMBioC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130491285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their coherent deramping-based architecture is beneficial in two aspects: i) it permits to attain high-resolution range profiles circumventing the necessity of expensive high-sampling-rate analog-to-digital converters and ii) its coherence feature enables a very-precise phase-based extraction of the range-displacement information. On the other hand, Doppler radars do not possess range resolution, leading to the fact that they can only detect the vital signs of a single patient with conventional baseband spectrum analysis. This work shows that FMCW radars can handle multiple patients located at different range cells. Simulations of vital-sign acquisitions confirm the isolation capabilities of FMCW radars in contrast to conventional Doppler radar systems.","PeriodicalId":171472,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Biomedical Conference (IMBioC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132710378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The detection of the target sidelobe generated by the traditional matched filtering (MF) algorithm affects the detection of weak targets. After analysis, The target is sparse in the detection region and the sidelobe of the target can be suppressed by accurately reconstructing the target.
