microwave imaging

Spread spectrum time domain reflectometry (SSTDR) is proposed to replace the VNA or UWB pulsed systems and switches in a microwave imaging system. These tests evaluate an SSTDR system (Keysight N7081A) from 2-4 GHz. 16 ultrawideband (UWB) antennas were placed in contact with the breast phantom. The McGill breast phantom is a hemispherical carbon-based phantom with the electrical properties of fat. A cylindrical hole allows for the insertion of a plug with fat properties or fat+tumor properties. These were both measured and provided in the attached data set.

Microwave-based breast cancer detection is a growing field that has been investigated as a potential novel method for breast cancer detection. Breast microwave sensing (BMS) systems use low-powered, non-ionizing microwave signals to interrogate the breast tissues. While some BMS systems have been evaluated in clinical trials, many challenges remain before these systems can be used as a viable clinical option, and breast phantoms (breast models) allow for rigorous and controlled experimental investigations.

This data was used for the paper: J. Wang, P. Aubry, and A. Yarovoy, " Three-Dimensional Short-Range Imaging With Irregular MIMO Arrays Using NUFFT-Based Range Migration Algorithm", IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. It includes two synthetic electromagnetic datasets and one experimental measured data with multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) arrays.
