The microwave imaging is explored as an imaging modality for early detection of breast cancer. When exposed to electromagnetic waves, the breast tumor has electrical properties that are substantially different from those of healthy breast tissue. This article describes a study for the detection of breast cancer. We examine the ability to detect tumors by a microstrip patch antenna operating at a frequency of 2.45GHz. Using a simple model in the form of a cone. This model consists of the breast skin and fat and the tumor tissues. The study is done according to several distances between the patch antenna and the model of the breast. Simulation results are presented, namely, reflection coefficient, VSWR and radiation pattern of the antenna patch and the current density in the breast skin, fatty tissue and the tumor and also the distribution of magnetic field to give us a clear insight into the concept studied.
Author Keywords: Microwave imaging, breast cancer, patch antenna, tumor, tissues.

Abstract: (french)
L'imagerie micro-ondes est explorée comme une modalité d'imagerie pour la détection précoce du cancer du sein. Lorsqu'il est exposé à des ondes électromagnétiques, la tumeur du sein présente des propriétés électriques qui sont sensiblement différentes de celles des tissus mammaires sains. Cet article décrit une étude pour la détection du cancer du sein. Nous examinons la capacité de détection des tumeurs par une antenne patch micro-ruban opérant à une fréquence de 2.45GHz. En utilisant un simple modèle de sein sous forme de cône. Ce modèle est constitué de la peau du sein et des tissus gras ainsi que la tumeur. L'étude est faite suivant plusieurs distances entre l'antenne patch et le modèle du sein. Les résultats de simulation sont présentés, à savoir ; coefficient de réflexion, ROS et diagramme de rayonnement pour l'antenne patch, ainsi, la densité de courant dans la peau du sein, tissus gras et au niveau de la tumeur et aussi la distribution du champ magnétique permettant de nous donner un aperçu clair sur le concept étudié.
