Abstract

In this paper, we explore the potential of microwave imaging as a safer and more effective alternative to X-ray mammography for early breast cancer detection. Breast cancer has affected women in big time underscoring the need for improved screening methods. X-ray mammography, the current standard, has limitations such as missed detections due to poor contrast between malignant and benign tissue and radiation exposure. We present a study on the effects 1*8 array antenna connected with breast phantom.. resonant frequency is 2.4 GHz and a return loss of less than -35 dB.. Our results demonstrate that this antenna design shows improved characteristics compared to existing designs in the literature, making it a promising tool for breast tumor detection.
