Pendeteksian Kedalaman Tumor Payudara Menggunakan Antena Tekstil Berbahan Substrat Felt
ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is one of the most terrifying types of cancer for women worldwide,
including in Indonesia. Detecting the early symptoms of cancer as soon as possible is
a preventive measure to reduce the mortality rate of the disease. One technology that
can be used to detect objects, specifically in the field of medical diagnosis, is the
micro-wave imaging system using Ultrawideband (UWB). One element used in this
system is the antenna. The latest development in antenna technology is the flexible
microstrip antenna which can be applied to the human body. This flexible microstrip
antenna can perform deformations such as bending, thus being able to adjust to the
complex shape of objects such as the human body. In this research, we designed and
built a flexible microstrip antenna using felt dielectric substrate material that
operates at a frequency of 3,8 GHz. The simulation results of the antenna show a
return loss value of -47,5138 dB, bandwidth of 1,4 GHz, VSWR of 1, nearly
omnidirectional radiation pattern, and a bandwidth of 1,4 GHz in the frequency
range of 2,98 – 4,33 GHz. The antenna was also simulated with a breast phantom
based on the position and condition of the tumor scenario. The simulation results
showed that the quadrant with the tumor has a higher amplitude value compared to
the quadrant without a tumor. The antenna fabrication process was done manually
through laser cutting and heat-assisted bonding process. The fabricated antenna was
measured using Pocket VNA and tested to obtain performance parameters based on
the flexibility level of the antenna. The flexibility level of the antenna measured was
the bending effect. The measurement results using the breast phantom showed that
the flexible microstrip antenna made of felt substrate material can detect the depth of
breast tumors with the help of GUI programming that had been previously designed.
The GUI program can also detect more than one layer or depth of tumors in the
breast.
