Certain Study on Improvement of Bandwidth in 3GHz Microstrip Patch Antenna Designs and Implemented on Monostatic Radar Approach for Breast Cancer Diagnosis in Microwave Imaging System

A 3[Formula: see text]GHz class of an EF and [Formula: see text] shaped Microstrip Patch Antennas (MPAs) designed, simulated and fabricated has been presented in this paper. These simulated designs with appropriate parameters are implemented on the fabrication prototypes which have been validated with help of Agilent Microwave Analyzer (N99917A). These proposed MPAs and dielectric equivalent human breast model that have been validated using the different dielectric strengths of coupling mediums are presented. These MPAs and dielectric equivalent human breast model have been validated using the existing Debye test bed. The coverage and vector dimension of tumor tissues have been detected using the Monostatic radar approach in the EF and [Formula: see text] shaped MPAs-based existing Debye test bed setups. This paper conclude that Fractional Bandwidth (FBW) of EF shaped MPA is 26.79% greater than [Formula: see text] shaped MPA of 21.67%. Hence, the EF and [Formula: see text] shaped MPAs prototypes are suitable for breast cancer diagnosis systems. The prototypes’ depth, coverage and vector dimensions are presented in this paper.

Microstrip Patch

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women all over the world. It is the abnormal growth of breast tissues in multistage process. As the stage increases, the chances of treatment and probability of survival of patient decreases. Hence, early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer is must. Microwave imaging technique for early detection of breast cancer is a promising technique to detect tumor and it also have several advantages over other existing techniques for breast cancer detection, such as Breast Self-Examination (BSE), Clinical Breast Examination (CBE), Breast Ultrasound, Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Mammography and other breast screening methods. One of them is non-ionizing radiations. Other advantages include portability, inexpensive system and safe for human body. Microwave imaging employs microstrip patch antenna as its integral part, for transmitting and receiving microwaves. Microstrip patch antenna as name suggests is a low weight, smaller size antenna. Depending upon substrate material, microstrip patch antennas can be categorized as flexible and non-flexible antennas. Flexible microstrip patch antennas, mostly consisting of textile materials are becoming the preferred choice for most of the researchers. This paper presents recent trends in microstrip patch antenna design for early breast cancer detection and a comparison among them in terms of substrate, feeding techniques, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), E and H field, Return Loss, Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and some other parameters.

A method of collecting and delivering single or precise numbers of cells to assess the feasibility of capturing very rare circulating tumor cells for human breast cancer diagnosis and monitoring was developed. A PMMA device was assembled with minimal assembly variation using passive alignment. Thermoplastic fusion bonding was optimized to yield minimal deformation of the microfluidic channel. UV modification and an anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (anti-EpCAM) functionalization process were used to generate capture surfaces and maximized by control experiment. Single or precise numbers of target cells were collected using a cell collecting capillary tube and a hemacytometer and delivered into the microchannel without any loss. Cells from one of the human breast cancer cell lines, the MCF-7 cell line (ATCC, Manassas, VA) which strongly overexpresses EpCAM, were successfully captured on the anti-EpCAM coated microchannel surfaces. Successful capture of early stage breast cancer cells in whole blood may be feasible with further optimization of the microchannel geometry and flow velocity through the microfluidic device.
