Abstract:

In this paper, effective, high improvement is futurefor hyperthermia breast cancer therapy system. This frequency band has remaineddefined for the breast cancer hyperthermia therapy. The grid extended and small sides are responsible for the undesired cross-polarized radioactivity and chosen copolarized radiation, correspondingly. The inappropriateness of the conservative grid antenna array is guaranteed by examiningits radiation goods. The future grid antenna array short side width is different and its long side width is reserved wide as conceivable to improve the radiation properties and to decrease the losses. Also, aindicator has remained used for improvementdetermination. The proposed grid antenna array attains side lobe level and 3 dB beam width of −27.9 dB and 25.9˚ for the E-plane and 27.9 dB and 26.3˚ for the H-plane, correspondingly. The breast phantom is exposedby together proposed and conservative grid antenna arrays for 10 minutes.The proposed grid antenna array attains 8˚C temperature growth within the breast phantom area associated to 2˚C temperature growth for conventional one. The proposed grid antenna array is extremely efficient, high gain and light weight, and it has aactualappropriate radiation property for hyperthermiabreast cancer therapy.
