Microwave Imager Design with 2.46 GHz Microstrip Patch Antennas
Öz
In this study, microwave imager design is aimed by using a series of microstrip patch antennas operating in the 2.46 GHz frequency band. The designed microwave imager has a 24-sided cylindrical shape and includes 5x1 microstrip patch antennas placed at 45˚ angles. The overall working principle of the microwave imager is based on the back reflection and transmission values between the transmitter and receiver antennas. The 40 microstrip patch antennas inside the microwave imager operate as both a receiver and a transmitter and the transmission values between each other (S21, S31, S41, S21 etc.) are capable of mapping the internal space in three dimensions with the required algorithm. The microstrip antennas in the designed structure have been chosen for their small volume, easy integration, versatility, low profile, and the most commonly used 2.46 GHz frequency is used as the operation band. The most important achievement of this study is to support medical imaging practices; the detection of cancerous areas such as breast cancer can be determined by the interaction between antennas and is the aim of this study. In addition, the developed microwave imager can also be used in concrete mapping and non-destructive imaging applications in the construction sector. Besides, the designed configuration has another advantage due to its low cost.
