Analysis of Breast Cancer Detection Based on Software-Defined Radio Technology

This paper evaluates a potential system to perform Medical Imaging dealing with electromagnetic waves at microwave frequency range. It aims at detect early breast cancer in a portable and low-cost solution instead of expensive and bulky equipment. An explanation about Microwave Imaging and Software-Defined Radio is presented. Employing GNU radio toolkit, a Radio Frequency communication was performed, whereby SNR close to 80 dB was achieved, showing that the proposed system is suitable for our project, paving the way for further work.
