Detection of Diseased Tissues with Open-Ended Coaxial Probes

Abstract

This work presents analysis of open-ended coaxial probes having four different aperture sizes. The probes are simulated in CST. S-parameters collected from simulations and the dielectric properties of the material under test is retrieved with an in-house algorithm. The probes are fabricated and the measurements are performed with the known materials to evaluate the performance of the probes. A good agreement is obtained between the performance of the fabricated and commercially available probes.
