AbstractMicrowave can be applied for telecommunicaions, radar and microwave imaging. This wave has been widely used in everyday life, such as in the industrial word in the fields of robotics, microwave vision, imaging burrier objects, vehicular guidance, biomedical imaging, remote sensing, wheater radar, target tracking, and other apllications. Microwave imaging is a technology that uses electromagnetic waves at frequencies from Megahertz to Gigahertz. Utilization of microwave imaging in addition to information technology and telecommunications, this wave application can be used to process an image because of its ability to penetrate dielectric materials. The purpose of writing this article is to determine microwave imaging application, the working principle of antennas used for microwave imaging applications and antenna specifications used for microwave imaging applications. Microwave imaging research has been carried out using several different type of antennas such as vivaldi and monopole antennas. Where the signal tha is transmitted and will be exposed to the object will send a different return signal so that an image of an object will be obtained which will be processed on the computer. The working frequency of the antenna for microwave imaging applications is in a wide frequency range (UWB antenna). The antennas that are applied include the vivaldi antenna which works at a frequency of 1-11 GHz and a monopole antenna that works at a frequency 1,25-2,4 GHz for biomedical imaging applications, while for radar applications in the construction field it can use a frequency of 0,5-40 GHz.

Multilayer Dielectric

One of the most important diagnostic problems multilayer dielectric materials and coatings is the development of methods for quantitative interpretation of the checkout results their electrophysical and geometric parameters. The results of a study of the potential informativeness of the multi-frequency radio wave method of surface electromagnetic waves during reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric coatings are presented. The simulation model is presented that makes it possible to evaluate of the accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric coatings. The model takes into account the values of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of the coating, the noise level in the measurement data and the measurement bandwidth. The results of simulation and experimental investigations of reconstruction of the structure of relative permittivitties and thicknesses of single-layer and double-layer dielectric coatings with different thicknesses, with different values of the standard deviation (RMS) of the noise level in the measured attenuation coefficients of the surface slow electromagnetic wave are presented. Coatings based on the following materials were investigated: polymethyl methacrylate, F-4D PTFE, RO3010. The accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical parameters of the layers decreases with an increase in the number of evaluated parameters and an increase in the noise level. The accuracy of the estimates of the electrophysical parameters of the layers also decreases with a decrease in their relative permittivity and thickness. The results of experimental studies confirm the adequacy of the developed simulation model. The presented model allows for a specific measuring complex that implements the multi-frequency radio wave method of surface electromagnetic waves, to quantify the potential possibilities for the accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric materials and coatings. Experimental investigations and simulation results of a multilayer dielectric coating demonstrated the theoretical capabilities gained relative error permittivity and thickness of the individual layers with relative error not greater than 10 %, with a measurement bandwidth of 1 GHz and RMS of noise level 0,003–0,004.

In the past few decades, the applications of terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and imaging technology have seen significant developments in the fields of biology, medical diagnosis, food safety, and nondestructive testing. Label-free diagnosis of malignant tumours has been obtained and also achieved significant development in THz biomedical imaging. This review mainly presents the research status and prospects of several common continuous-wave (CW) THz medical imaging systems and applications of THz medical imaging in biological tissues. Here, we first introduce the properties of THz waves and how these properties play a role in biomedical imaging. Then, we analyse both the advantages and disadvantages of the CW THz imaging methods and the progress of these methods in THz biomedical imaging in recent ten years. Finally, we summarise the obstacles in the way of the application of THz bio-imaging application technology in clinical detection, which need to be investigated and overcome in the future.

Abstract Hyperthermia therapy is a promising therapy for liver cancer treatment that utilizes external electromagnetic waves to heat the tumor zone to preferentially kill or minimize cancer cells. Nevertheless, it’s a challenge to realize localized heating of the cancer tissue without harming the surrounding healthy tissue. This research proposes to utilize nanoparticles as microwave absorbers to enhance microwave imaging and achieve localized hyperthermia therapy. A realistic 3D abdomen model has been segmented using 3D Slicer segmentation software, and then the obtained segmented CAD model exported to Computer Simulation Technology (CST STUDIO) for applying the Finite Element Modeling (FEM). Next investigating both imaging and treatment capability. Finally, the specific absorption rate (SAR) and temperature distribution were computed without nanoparticles and with different types of nanoparticles such as gold (GNPs) and silver nanoparticles at frequency 915 MHz. By comparing the achived results, it was seen that Silver nanoparticles can make a great enhancement in raising the temperature. However, this result was unsatisfactory but, after adding gold nanoparticles the temperature exceed 42°C, at frequency 915 MHz which is achieving the hyperthermia treatment without harming the nearby healthy tissue, GNPs also can achieve a great enhancement in SAR result

In the paper the development of the components of communication means is considered based on the wire metastructures. This approach is novel and quite promising due to the metamaterials provides new opportunities for the radio engineering devices such as antennas, absorbers etc. First of all it makes possible decreasing of the dimensions of devices while the characteristics stay the same or better. Here the artificially created metastructure that consists of parallel metallic wires and characterizes by a negative electric permittivity was investigated. The possibility of broadband power transfer of electromagnetic waves was demonstrated. Also, at first time, the investigation of possible signal distortions due to wave propagation through the wire medium (WM) slab was performed via analyzing of spectral characteristics. The obtained results allow applying of WM to power transfer in wide frequency range (not only at frequencies of Fabry-Perot resonant) and enhancement of weak source propagation as well as to antennas constructions due to the absence of signal distortions. One of the promising applications of such structures is the possibility of realizing of flexible screens with nanometer thickness and high resolution.
