    A compact disc-shaped super wideband patch antenna with a structure of parasitic element
    (IOS Press, 2016) Islam, M. M.; Islam, M. T.; Faruque, M. R. I.; Misran, N.; Samsuzzaman, M.; Hossain, M. I.; Alam, T.
    In this paper, a disc-shaped monopole antenna has been investigated for super-wideband applications with a structure of parasitic element. The proposed SWB antenna consists of disc-shaped patch and a partial ground plane with a structure of parasitic element. The parasitic element consists of 4 rectangular embedded slots on the ground plane. This parasitic element on the ground plane leads the UWB frequency band into the SWB frequency band. This proposed SWB antenna is fed by a microstrip line and is printed on low dielectric FR4 material of 1.6 mm thickness. All the simulations are performed using commercially available, finite element method (FEM) based Ansoft high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) software and CST Microwave Studio. Measured results exhibit that the proposed disc-shaped antenna shows a wide bandwidth which covers from 2.90 GHz to more than 20 GHz, with a compact dimension of 25 mm × 33 mm for VSWR < 2, observing a SWB frequency. A good combination is noticed between simulation and measurement. The simple construction, sharply, surface current flow, much impedance bandwidth, nearly omnidirectional radiation patterns, stable peak gain (3.20-6.22 dBi) and a considerable bandwidth dimension ratio (≥ 2062. 22) are a good deal sounder than the existing super wideband antennas which make it appropriate for many wireless communication systems such as L, C, X, UWB, Ku, and SWB bands.

    Detection of breast cancer using electromagnetic techniques: A review
    (IOS Press, 2016-07-08) Islam, M.M.; Faruque, M.R.I.; Misran, N.; Islam, M.T.
    Breast cancer is the most well-known malignancy of non-skin and the second leading reason of cancer death among the women in the world after the lung cancer. In this review, the development of the microwave imaging system is described for breast cancer detection depending on the ultra-wideband imaging system, which is a promising emerging technology that uses the dielectric contrast between malignant, benignant and normal fibro glandular breast tissues at the microwave frequencies. Some breast cancer detection techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Mammography, Ultra-Wide Band (UWB), Ultrasound and their performances have also been reviewed. There are some restrictions of the existing UWB imaging systems such as they have no ability to detect the breast tumor at the beginning period, having no 3D pictorial representation of tumor size in all systems and a multiple array antenna in respect of complex system. This encourages the improvement of the extended signal processing techniques for ultra-wideband imaging systems and initiates a more appealing imaging scenario. The limitations and running challenges of the microwave imaging system have been discussed completely with some feasible suggestions. Confidently, this thorough survey has been done here to overcome this limitations of the existing and proposed systems. Full Text Link: http://doi.org/10.3233/JAE-150050

    Microstrip line‐fed fractal antenna with a high fidelity factor for UWB imaging applications
    (Wiley, 2015-08-28) Islam, M. M.; Islam, M. T.; Samsuzzaman, M.; Faruque, M. R. I.; Misran, N.
    A printed microstrip line‐fed fractal antenna is presented with a high fidelity factor for UWB applications. The antenna structure of electrical dimension 0.24 λ × 0.33 λ at lower frequency 3.1 GHz is made of a fractal patch, a slotted partial ground plane, and a microstrip feed, which is fabricated on FR4 material of low cost and dielectric. Measured results demonstrates that the fractal antenna achieves fractional bandwidth of 117.88% covering the frequency range from 3.1 GHz to more than 12 GHz with a maximum gain 3.54 dBi at 6.25 GHz. An acceptable analogy is observed between measured and simulation results. The high fidelity factor, sharply surface current distribution, time domain performances, acceptable gain, and nearly omnidirectional radiation characteristic have validated the appropriateness of this proposed fractal antenna for UWB and microwave imaging applications.

    Omni-directional microstrip monopole antenna for UWB microwave imaging system
    (IEEE, 2015-08-27) Islam, M. M.; Islam, M.T.; Samsuzzaman, M.; Faruque, M. R. I.; Misran, N.
    A miniaturized ultra-wideband antenna is presented for using in microwave imaging systems. This antenna structure consists of a radiating patch, a microstrip transmission line, and a partial ground plane which provides a wide bandwidth covering from 3.65 GHz to more than 11 GHz frequency. It has overall dimensions of 16 mm × 21 mm× 1.6 mm with a compact size. Negligible distortion is observed from the time domain characteristic of the proposed UWB antenna. It is appropriate for using in the field of microwave imaging systems due to its short pulse operation. The proposed antenna shows good directional radiation pattern, considerable gain level, surface current distribution and correlation coefficient for using in the microwave imaging systems.
