Abstract

A smart antenna array is designed and fabricated for brain cancer detection. The smart antenna array is composed of three ultra-wideband vivaldi antennas. A brain model with 4 layers is created and simulated with the CST Microwave Studio. A radius of 5mm tumour model is placed into the white matter close to the skull. A short pulse is transmitted into the brain and the reflected signals are detected by one or more receiver antennas placed in different positions. Analysis of the reflected signals shows that using a smart antenna array based imaging system can be used for brain cancer detection.
