Abstract
An ultra-wideband (UWB) bow-tie antenna integrated with a balun was fabricated for breast cancer detection. The bandwidth and the center frequency of the antenna were 2.4 GHz and 4 GHz, respectively. A target which was located at the depth of 44 mm in a dielectric material was detected by confocal algorism.
