Rancang Bangun Wearable Antenna Flexible Pada Medical Bra Untuk Mendeteksi Tumor Pada Payudara
ABSTRACT
In this research, the 8 element MIMO flexible microstrip antenna array uses the
CPW (Coplanar Waveguide) feed technique built into a bra and will become a
medical bra as a measurement medium, and is designed for tumor detection
applications in the breast. The antenna is designed and simulated using HFSS 15.0
simulation software and operates at a frequency of 6 GHz with a wide bandwidth
or UWB (Ultra Bandwidth) which is 3 GHz (5.5 GHz - 9 GHz). The 8-element array
MIMO flexible microstrip antenna is printed on a flexible PET material with silver
ink. Antennas that have been fabricated are measured using VNA and give the most
optimal results with the acquisition of a bandwidth of 2.39 GHz and a return loss
value of -38.76 dB for a frequency of 6 GHz for a single antenna measurement. In
this study, the fabricated antenna was also measured by using a bra on the breast
phantom, which had a known tumor position in the 3rd quadrant or antenna
positions 1 and 5.The measurement results obtained on antenna 1 obtained a return
loss value of -18. 33 dB and a bandwidth of ≥ 2.86 GHz at a frequency of 6.44 GHz.
The measurement results obtained on antenna 5 get a return loss value of -15 dB
and a bandwidth of ≥ 2.44 GHz at a frequency of 6.82 GHz. This study has the final
results of measurements in the time domain to determine the presence of tumors in
the breast by analyzing the amplitude graph differences. The difference in the
amplitude graph with the higher value indicates that the antenna crosses the area
where the tumor is present.
