Detection of skin Cancer using PIFA antenna

Abstract

Due to the advancements in electromagnetic fields, it can be widely used in medical applications to detect various diseases. In this paper we present a novel idea to detect a biological skin cancer tissue by designing a Planar Inverted F antenna (PIFA) which is more commonly available in mobile devices. Our basic idea is to design PIFA antenna using CST software and thereby fabricating the antenna with one port and identifying its reflection parameters and VSWR ratio. The Biological skin tissue is modelled in CST software by using the dielectric properties of a normal tissue and a cancerous tissue. The antenna is excited by a source and radiated towards the normal and affected skin tissue. The permittivity, Conductivity, permeability and absorption power by the skin tissues are identified and compared with the affected tissues. Results showed that the Energy received from the normal and affected skin tissues gets varied and from this simulation results we can be able to conclude that weather a cancerous tissue is present in a human body.
