In this paper, a circularly polarized printed monopole antenna (CPPMA) is proposed for medical microwave imaging and health monitoring applications. The proposed CPPMA is optimized to operate at the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. A prototype of the designed antenna is fabricated and printed on the low-cost FR-4 substrate that has a compact size of 34 × 28 × 1.5 mm3. The simulated results indicate that the designed CPPMA operates between 2.425 GHz and 2.475 GHz while the measured results range between 2.32 GHz and 2.515 GHz. The designed CPPMA also reveals a circular polarization performance at 2.45 GHz (2.4386 GHz - 2.4633 GHz). The suitability of CPPMA for microwave imaging is confirmed by checking its aptitudes to detect the presence of breast tumors and brain strokes. A great detection capability is achieved for breast tumors and brain strokes of various sizes inserted at different positions with a high sensitivity to changes or anomalies in the dielectric properties of human tissues. In addition, the usefulness of the proposed CPPMA for wearable application is justified experimentally. Excellent agreement is achieved between the simulated results and the measured ones.

“…In this way the designer takes advantage of an almost unlimited number of degrees of freedom in the material synthesis, even in the microwave/millimeter-wave range for both circuit [4] and antenna [5] applications. 3-D printing is particularly suitable to meet the internet of things (IoT) requirements in terms of miniaturized, low-cost electronic technologies for healthcare applications, where wearable, lightweight, non-invasive systems need to be adapted to curvilinear surfaces of the body [6]. Furthermore, the engineered material can be co-designed with respect to its mechanical properties that can be varied with the application, i.e., by deploying a low infill percentage with a high empty/full ratio if efficiency is the primary goal (as for radiative applications [1]), and a high infill percentage for miniaturization purposes.…”

“…Additionally, as microwaves attenuate rapidly in human body, it has almost no effect on the normal tissue that is a few centimeters away from the MWA antenna [4]- [6], which means that MWA is very safe for patients. Due to these obvious advantages, it has been initially applied for treatments of liver tumors [7], [8], lung tumors [9], breast tumors [10], etc. and has shown promising results in the clinical practice.…”

Though microwave ablation (MWA) technology has shown obvious advantages, it has the problem that the ablation zone is not sufficiently localized. As a result, normal tissue might be inevitably damaged during the ablation process. To solve this problem, the comprehensive MWA theory is firstly analyzed in this paper, and then a frequency-adaptive ablation approach is proposed and verified by simulations. Accordingly, a frequency-adaptive MWA system for optimizing the ablation zone is developed. As the tissue's electromagnetic properties change with the increasing of temperature during the ablation, the proposed system is designed to monitor the working performance of the antenna in real-time and to automatically select the optimum working frequency, simultaneously. The ablationcontrolling system is designed as an integrated controller, so that the overall size and the fabrication cost are obviously reduced. Preliminary validation experiments are performed on the system, which shows that the proposed system is capable of delivering stable power output from 0.5 GHz to 3 GHz and creating a highly localized ablation zone. The proposed MWA system is expected to be a dedicated device for the treatment of tumors.
