“…Because of these problems, an alternative approach for performing research is on breast phantoms. At present, the available breast phantoms have only been used in mimicking the attenuation properties rather than producing an scattered profile distribution equivalent to breast tissue [5][6][7][8][9]. Another problem is gap between theoretical and experimental data values for making breast phantoms.…”

In this paper, we have proposed an analytical body (breast-tissue) propagation model in terms of scattering parameters towards the design goal of a suitable ultra-wide band, (UWB) transceiver for early breast tumor detection. The scattering parameters are reflection ( and transmission coefficients (Τ). We considered a heterogeneous breast model consisting of skin, adipose and glandular tissues as body (breast) channel and planar wave to propagate through it for UWB frequency range. A tumor layer was also considered as an inner layer to investigate tumorous tissue effects. Effective dielectric properties and scattering parameters (through reflected/ scattered or forward transmitted signals) for the whole breast were determined. Due to dispersive nature of heterogeneous breast, Γ and T vary with frequency; showing their decisive nature for a particular center frequency of the UWB transceiver systems. In case of 2.0 GHZ and 4.5 GHz center frequency UWB system, the back propagated (reflected/ scattered) signals showed approximately 45.45% and 63.3% respectively higher amplitude than forward propagated signals for the breast channel with tumor, indicating high value of dispersion present in human breast tissues.

“…In this paper, human breast phantom is considered for UWB communication system for early detection of breast tumor. The breast phantom data from [5,8,9] is used here. We have produced scattering profiles of this phantom by finding the S-parameters.…”
