Sažetak
In this article, a new biodegradable and easily implantable multi-element sensor is presented
for early-stage breast cancer screening within the Sub-THz frequency range. The evolution
of the sensor begins with the development of a single element. Once the desired operating
frequency of operation is accomplished by the single element it is transformed into a multielement configuration. The sensor is implemented on a compact size (20,000 × 20,000 µm2)
easily biodegradable cordura substrate. The sensor performance is evaluated in terms of in-band
reflection, directivity and surface current. The sensor is offered Factional Bandwidth (FBW), average directivity and surface current density 115.15%, 10.5 dBi and 20 A/m, respectively. The breast
phantom screening is carried out for normal and malignant phantoms of (Tis, N0, M0), (T1, N0,
M0) and (T2, N1, M0) using the proposed Multi-Element Sensor (MES). The Principal Component
Analysis (PCA) results, error bar and sensitivity parameters are accounted for in the analysis to
discriminate the normal phantom from malignant phantoms. The sub-THz range of operation of
the proposed sensor has opened a new research scope for medical screening applications and
the proposed method comparatively, offers a wide range of measurements for tumour detection.
