Abstract :
This paper presents finite-difference time-domain analysis of the "dark eyes" antenna in the vicinity of complex tissue structures to assess the potential problems associated with near-field tumour sensing. With the antenna placed next to a realistic hemi-spherical breast model, we observe the response of a 6-mm tumour embedded in a gland. The main parameters of our study are the location of the antenna relative to asymmetrical inhomogeneous cluster of glands and electrical parameters of the gland within which the tumour is assumed to be embedded
