Hexagonal microstrip antenna simulation for breast cancer detection

As an emerging technology, UltraWide Band (UWB) wireless communications provides a very different approach to the antenna technology compared to narrow band systems, which has been a very attractive choice for medical antenna development. In this paper presents the design and simulation of a hexagonal microstrip antenna along with a breast phantom simulation. The antenna is simulated by introducing a hexagon slot in the center of the patch an impedance bandwidth nearly 5 GHz is achieved. The presented antenna has been designed and simulated successfully. The simulation analysis of designed antenna is carried out using HFSS software. The obtained results with this antenna make it a suitable antenna for UWB systems and portable applications.
