Abstract :
Simulation experiment of breast cancer detection has been performed using an ultrashort-pulse radar with compact vivaldi antennas. A synthetic breast phantom and metallic balls or high-k dielectric cubes are used as tumor in our experiment. Image reconstructions of the breast models using reflection data will be presented. We measure reflection data in order to reconstruct images of the breast models with different dielectrics alien objects.
