Abstract :
In this paper, we enhanced the MIST beamforming for multi-static radar, and have demonstrated the performance using the 3-D breast model containing the 3mm-radius tumor by numerical experiments. We can clearly recognize small tumor without false image as compared with MIST and MAMI. In addition, the computing time is about 1/9 of MAMI. We have confirmed that MS-MIST was useful than existing algorisms for early breast cancer detection.
