Ultrawide band (UWB) microwave imaging is a promising method for the detection of early
stage breast cancer, based on the large contrast in electrical parameters between malignant
tumour tissue and the surrounding normal breast‐tissue. In this paper, the detection and
imaging of a malignant tumour are performed through a tomographic based microwave
system and signal processing. Simulations of the proposed system are performed and
postimage processing is presented. Signal processing involves the extraction of tumour …
