Every year a concerning number of women are affected by breast cancer which is one of the deadliest and common types of cancers. Breast cancer is curable at early stages. For detecting breast cancer, there are several methods such as MRI, Mammography, Tomography, Ultrasound, and biopsy are available in medical technology. Still, none of them are as easy and efficient as a microwave imaging technique, in this method, the antenna plays an important role. Therefore, this paper focuses on developing an antenna at a low-frequency range for microwave imaging techniques to detect cancerous tissue inside the breast. For this, the antenna parameters, i.e., return loss, VSWR, directivity, current density, and specific absorption rate were studied, by setting the antenna over without tumor and with tumor breast as upside-down, to ensure the compatibility of the antenna for the technique as well as for the patient’s body. A 5mm radius cancerous tumor was created inside the breast with dielectric conductivity of 4 and relative permittivity of 50. Cancerous cells were detected by reading the antenna parameters’ comparison between the healthy breast and the affected breast. The whole study was conducted by using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO SUITE 2020.
Design and Simulation-Based Parametric Studies of a Compact Ultra-Wide Band Antenna for Wireless Capsule Endoscopy System at Inside Body Environment
(International Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering & Telecommunications, 2020) Al Rakib, Md. Abdullah; Ahmad, Shamim; Faruqi, Tareq Mohammad; Haque, Mainul; Rukaia1, Sharifa Akter; Nazmi, Sumaiya
This paper focuses to design a compact (110mm³) Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) (3.1GHz to 10.6GHz) antenna, which covers almost the whole 10dB impedance matching bandwidth of the UWB range. Two of the main specialties of this article over other related articles are its antenna’s wider bandwidth (approx. 7.3GHz) and antenna’s simulation environment. No other papers consider such a realistic model to simulate their antenna, before. Due to its wider bandwidth, this antenna can be employed in the Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) system, which mainly requires a high-speed real-time data transfer-capable antenna. The antenna was examined inside simplified human Gastrointestinal (GI) tract phantoms (Colon, Esophagus, Small Intestine and Stomach) as well as the human Voxel GI tract model by maintaining proper tissue properties for the sake of accurate parametric results. Biocompatible material polyimide was used to construct the capsule wall to fulfill the system’s biocompatibility. In the result analysis part, the proposed antenna’s SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) or electromagnetic energy amount, consumed by near-side body tissue was considered and found in the acceptable region, according to Federal Communication Commission (FCC)’s regulation. Also, other crucial antenna parameters such as VSWR, reflection coefficient, radiation characteristics, efficiencies, directivity and surface current density were adoptable compare to other related articles. The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) of CST Microwave Studio Suite 2020 was used to investigate the antenna parameters.
