چکیده
This article presents the design of a miniaturized microstrip antenna for microwave medical imaging applications. We propose a miniature rectangular printed antenna that meets the UWB characteristics in terms of bandwidth and reflection coefficient. This antenna is designed for a system to detect malignant tumors by microwave imaging. We use certain techniques of miniaturization and expansion of bandwidth in order to achieve our intention. The antenna has an ordinary rectangular radiating patch, therefore displays a good omnidirectional radiation pattern. The proposed antenna exhibits good UWB characteristics and has the capability of operating from 2.68GHz to 12.06GHz.
