Abstract
Antennas plays an important role in communication and
used for many applications since many decades ago. Its
contribution towards telecommunication, wired,
wireless, satellite, mobile, medical applications are
momentous and getting progressed from day to day life.
In recent years, researchers have been attracted towards
the implementation of compact size antennas deployed
over portable communication equipments .This project
presents the design of compact sized DR (Dielectric
Resonator
Antenna)
with
dual-polarization
characteristics for use in a (3-D) Microwave imaging
and to collect coplanar and cross-polar responses. The
antenna structure was designed successfully using CST
MICROWAVE STUDIO, a software package for
electromagnetic analysis and design in the high
frequency range. The broadside radiation and dual
polarization are achieved by exciting the fundamental
mode of the DRA as well as by using two elements of
the DRA that are perpendicular to each other. Compared
to the conventional rectangular DRA, the proposed
antenna is reduced in size by a factor of 6.5. The
proposed DRA offers a measured bandwidth of 75%
(2.65.5 GHz). The performance and radiation
characteristics of the antenna are verified experimentally
using CST. The designed DRA can employed for
Microwave Tomography (MWT) prototype or
microwave imaging. MWT an emerging modality that
holds promise for playing an important role in medicine
for scanning purposes like tumour detections we
considered here.

IV .MICROWAVE TOMOGRAPHY
Microwave Tomography (MWT) is an emerging
modality that holds promise for playing an important
role in medicine. This technology exploits the functional
and physiological information encoded in dielectric
properties as a way of distinguishing and characterizing
different tissues or pathologies.Here we consider a
tumour detection of brain.
The CST Microwave studio has a rich library of
materials including some biomaterials such as bone, fat
and skin. Fig 10 shows the anatomical slice of human
head which is basically composed skin, fat, skull, grey
matter and white matter and the next indicates the CST
phantom human brain model.
