The potential of UWB breast cancer detection has been demonstrated with simple experiments on homogenous breast phantoms which do not represent the tissue dielectric properties of heterogeneous human breast. This thesis attempts to bridge the gap by conducting experiments on pulse-based UWB microwav...
