Abstract
This paper is a study of the propagation characteristic of matching liquids in the skin-covered breast model. In order to evaluate the matching liquids, we investigated six kinds of matching liquids applied to proposed 1-D breast model from frequency range of 3~6 GHz. A uniform plane wave is projected / transmitted inside the multi-layered breast model. Then the propagation characteristics inside the model and the transmission loss of each matching liquids were analyzed. The studying method presented in the paper can be used in the breast cancer detection system, the field of cancer detection using human tissue and the field of other medical devices. This paper was applied to the breast cancer detection system. Consequently, these studies could be used to determine the suitable type of matching liquids for breast cancer detection system and to apply useful for performance analysis.
