Planar Array of UWB Active Slot Antennas for Microwave Imaging of the Breast
Abstract
A shielded planar array of active slot antennas is proposed for applications in the microwave imaging of the breast. The frequency band is from 3 to 8 GHz, where reflection loss better than 10 dB and interelement mutual coupling less than −20 dB are achieved. The center-to-center element spacing is 12 $\times12$ mm. A low-noise amplifier (LNA) is integrated with each antenna element for use in a receiving configuration. A ground plane within …
