Summary:
An experimental study concerning Ultra Wideband (UWB) Microwave Radar for breast cancer detection is described. A simple phantom, consisting of a cylindrical plastic container with low dielectric constant material imitating fatty tissues and a high dielectric constant object emulating tumour, is scanned with a tapered slot UWB probe antenna between 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. Different calibration schemes are considered for the successful detection of the target.
