Microwave tumor detection using a flexible UWB elliptical slot antenna with a tuning uneven U-shape stub on LCP

In this paper, we investigate tumor detection capabilities of the CPW-fed Elliptical Slot Antenna with a Tuning Uneven U-shape Stub on flexible liquid crystal polymer (LCP) in the UWB Microwave range of frequencies. The software “Microstripes” (based on FDTD) is used in our work to develop a realistic breast model and to analyze the tumor response of several tumors with different sizes and orientations.
