3-D Full-Wave Electromagnetic Modeling for Breast Microwave Tomography

چکیده
This paper presents a full-wave, whole-system modeling of Microwave Imaging Tomography (MWT) systems, to be used as forward model in reconstruction (inverse) algorithms. The full geometry including antennas and their ports is simulated via a Finite Element Method (FEM) approach. A new technique is used to compute the antenna operation in the system, which provides a general method to enforce the excitation as a specific modal distribution and to extract the voltage and current from the employed antenna. We report results for a complete Microwave Imaging (MWI) system with comparison between measured and simulated data.

Heterogeneous Anthropomorphic Phantoms with Realistic Dielectric Properties for Microwave Breast Imaging Experiments.
We present a technique for fabricating realistic breast phantoms for microwave imaging experiments. Using oil-in-gelatin dispersions that mimic breast tissue dielectric properties at microwave frequencies, we constructed four heterogeneous phantoms spanning the full range of volumetric breast densities. We performed CT scans and dielectric properties measurements to characterize each phantom.

A proper antenna to couple to a microstrip Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) is designed and simulated. A twin-slot microstrip-fed inline antenna is designed for frequency band of 600-720~GHz integrated with an elliptical lens and coupled to the MKID. A systematic design procedure for design of such antenna with microstrip inline feeding is presented. Whole structure of lens and twin...

متن کاملتحلیل و طراحی تغییر دهنده فاز N - بیتی MEMS توزیع شده در باند Ka
Modern microwave and millimeter wave phased array antennas are attractive because of their ability to steer wave beams in space without physically moving the antenna element. A typical phased array antenna may have several thousand elements fed by a phase shifter for every antenna, which can steer the resulting array beam to different directions. Their low loss, low cost and lightweight phase s...
