| Summary: | The breast tumor is the form of tumor that is
diagnosed more frequently than any other type of tumor and it
is the leading cause of death from breast cancer among females
globally. Breast cancer has the greatest incidence and fatality
rate among women worldwide. Early on, it was largely elderly
women who were affected, but that has since shifted. Younger
women have been more affected by breast tumor in recent years.
The most effective methods for dealing with this condition right
now include screening for it in early stages and diagnosing it.
Rather than relying solely on traditional approaches, it
encourages the researcher to instead focus on cutting-edge
technologies. Objectives: Breast tumor detection using a textile�based (jeans) flexible antenna. Methods: As a substrate, jeans
serve as a model for the proposed textile antenna, while copper
serves as a patch (tuning fork shape) and ground plane in a
simulated version of the antenna. Multiple simulations were run
on CST MWS-2021 to determine the return loss (S11), VSWR, 3-
D & 2-D radiation pattern, surface current radiation efficiency
(%) with a focus on the specific absorption rate (SAR) all of
which are important for optimizing antenna performance and
ensuring human safety in the presence of electromagnetic waves. In order to guarantee the identification process for tumor of varying sizes (R= 10, 20 & 30 mm), the return loss results are compared across several cases. The tuning fork shape textile antenna operates on ISM band (5.79 GHz). Findings: With the
primary goal of identifying breast tumor, the proposed
structure was designed with a flexible textile substrate (jeans),
low cost and an excellent radiation efficiency %. Application:
The proposed structure is a significant improvement over prior
studies in terms of low fabrication cost, adaptability and
radiation efficiency %, directivity, SAR value. The SAR value
was simulated and found 1.37 W/Kg, 0.837 W/Kg for 1 gm and
10 gm tissue. The suggested antenna meets the SAR standards
given by the FCC (1 gm) and the ICNIRP (10 gm). The most
significant advantage, however, is that the proposed antenna
can be used in conjunction with microwave scattering
technology to aid in the identification and detection of breast
tumor with just a marginal difference between healthy and
unhealthy breast. |
