Abstract

In this paper, a crescent shape 64 (8 × 8) elements microstrip patch array, using rubber substrate is designed and simulated to function at 4 GHz for the application of uterine tumour detection. A comparison using various combinations of antenna array elements is also presented. The centre-to-centre patch element distance is kept 0.5λ (λ = guided wavelength) for the antenna array to control mutual coupling. Electromagnetic simulator Ansoft HFSS 13 is used for the simulation. Characteristic analysis e.g. return loss(RL), radiation pattern of patch antenna array have been investigated. This antenna is placed on human uterine phantom model and simulated to detect uterine tumour. 64-elements antenna array has been fabricated also. In this paper, RL of -26.8384 dB & antenna gain of 21.0271 have been achieved for the proposed array. Human uterine phantom model is designed and simulated by CST Studio Suite 2019.
