An array of electronically-switched circular patch antennas is designed for breast tissue imaging for the purposes of cancer screening. Each array element is connected to a dedicated heterodyne radio, which performs amplification and downconversion to a single, low intermediate frequency for improved signal recovery. Data acquisition is accomplished with a VNA-based architecture. Details of the design are provided and are accompanied by simulated and experimental data. A receiver sensitivity of at least -120 dBm is expected, and an imaging sensor switching dynamic range between ON and OFF states of at least 127 dB is demonstrated based on experimental measurements. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / The design of an electrically small planar antenna for compact circular polarization is presented. After an in-depth study of the performance limitations on electrically small antennas and an investigation into the working of various existing electrically small antennas, the design, simulation and measurement of the proposed antenna element is presented in detail.

The following results were obtained in the presented thesis: 1. Based on a previous work on the MoM method, a software modulus was created and tested in MATLAB, which solves a small-size scanning metal array with arbitrary element position and arbitrary lumped loading. 2. The solver was applied to optimize a broadband planar array of dipoles using the concept of negative lumped loading, which was introduced by R.C. Hansen in 2003. The problem statement was formulated by E. Kratzenberg of MIT Haystack Observatory. 3. The optimization implies full testing of varied array configurations with different element numbers, dipole thicknesses, generator impedances, and lumped loading values. 4. The results obtained indicate that that both 4x4 and 6x6 arrays of dipoles may be optimized over the frequency band from 50 to 300 MHz. The optimization means that the Scan Element Pattern of the array at zenith nearly follows the theoretical limit (area gain per element).
