Abstract :
A novel microwave technique employing a deformable membrane mirror is presented for imaging breast cancer. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the system. The deformable mirror compensates for the transceiver operation of the antenna and provides multi-view measurements for reconstruction by adaptively changing the mirror shape. The proposed system avoids issues with antenna switching and compensation and requires only a control circuit for the deformable mirror assembly
