Initial experimental verification of confocal microwave imaging for breast tumor detection is described. Simple phantoms, consisting of a PVC pipe and objects representing tumors, are scanned with resistively loaded monopole or horn antennas. Successful reduction of clutter and detection of a variety of two-dimensional objects is demonstrated.
