Abstract :
Breast cancer is a common form of cancer in both developing and developed countries and one of the main causes of death among women [1]. Early detection is necessary for a high chance of successful treatment and long-term survival. In recent years, breast cancer detection using radar-based technologies has been considered a promising diagnosis method. In this paper, the replication of the permittivity and conductivity of cancer and glandular tissues is studied using a scale-model phantom technique for the efficient assessment in the antenna system for radar-based cancer detection technologies.
