  • Abstract
    Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) can be fused with microwave Nearfield Radar Imaging (NRI) in order to improve breast cancer detection. This paper presents the design of a new miniaturized ultra-wideband Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna (AVA), which can be used in such a hybrid DBT/NRI mechatronic imaging device. The antenna is miniaturized by using a coupling media and a substrate that have a high effective dielectric constant. Preliminary results show that the designed antenna has a return loss above 9 dB in a 2.5 GHz frequency band.
