| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A microwave CT mammography device has been developed. Dielectric Laminating Dipole Antenna with Shield (DiLDAS) has been developed for the transmitters and the receivers. In order to reduce the reflection on the breast, an FRP breast cup, of which permittivity is similar to that of the fat tissue, is attached the human breast. Number of transmitters is 16 and each of them is switched by the RF switch to the output of the microwave synthesizer of which frequency is scanned from 0.8 to 6.4 GHz. Number of receivers is 51 and each of them is connected to an IF amplifier, a logarithmic power detector and an IQ demodulator. All data are simultaneously sampled by 14 bits digitizers. In the preliminary experiment, the power of the scattered wave with the polarization perpendicular to the incident wave is significantly increased in higher frequencies. The direction of research and development is clarified to complete the microwave CT mammography device.
