Ultra wideband microwave imaging and localization for breast cancer

In this paper, we propose an UWB based multi static imaging technique which seeks to produce images and localize malignant breast tissues by processing the backscattered ultra-wideband (UWB) signals from numerical models of both tumor and normal breast tissues. We demonstrate that standard capon beamforming (SCB) combined with time-of-arrival (TOA) could give some reasonable results for imaging and localisation of breast cancer. The results are based on the ideal case; however it provided a direction for future improvements.
