Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of the surrounding medium (i.e., the human tissue) on the performance of the eccentric annular microstrip slot antenna when used in breast cancer detection. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to analyze the antenna characteristics. The results show that the performance of the antenna changes when used in biological applications.
