This article presents a diagnostic method for transmit–receive modules (TRMs) in an airborne active phased array antenna (APAA). Given the spatial constraints of airborne radar systems, the diagnostic functionality was implemented using the per...
The solution of inverse source problems by numerical procedures requires the investigation of the number of independent pieces of information that can be reconstructed stably. To this end, the mathematical properties of the relevant operators are to...
This study assesses the efficacy of detecting colorectal cancer precursors or polyps in an ex vivo human colon model with a microwave colonoscopy algorithm. Nowadays, 22% of polyps go undetected with conventional colonoscopy, and the risk of cancer a...
A non-uniform antenna array is proposed to enhance the accuracy of medical microwave imaging systems by increasing the amount of useful information captured about the imaged domain without increasing the number of antennas. These systems have so far...
In this paper, a diagnostic tool or procedure based on Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS) is proposed for identification of failed element(s) which manifest in millimeter-wave planar antenna arrays. With adequate a priori knowledge of the reference a...
This research presents an ultra-wideband antenna array for the non-invasive early detection of brain tumors. The primary objective of this work is to evaluate the detection capabilities of a proposed Vivaldi antenna array system for identifying small...
Thermal Magnetic Resonance (ThermalMR) is a theranostic concept that combines diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with targeted thermal therapy in the hyperthermia (HT) range using a radiofrequency (RF) applicator in an integrated system. The...
Injuries to the hamstring muscles are an increasing problem in sports. Imaging plays a key role in diagnosing and managing athletes with muscle injuries, but there are several problems with conventional imaging modalities with respect to cost and ava...
This paper reports the development of a new composite material as a matching medium for medical microwave diagnostic systems, where maximizing the microwave energy that penetrates the interrogated tissue is critical for improving the quality of the d...
Breast cancer detection through non-invasive and accurate techniques remains a critical challenge in medical diagnostics. This study introduces a deep learning-based framework that leverages a microwave radar system equipped with an arc-shaped array...
The diagnostics of environmentally induced damages in composite structures plays a critical role for ensuring the operational safety of space platforms. Recently, spacecraft have been equipped with lightweight and very large substructures, such as an...
The design of a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) ultra-wideband (UWB) RMS power sensor is presented. The sensor incorporates a microfabricated Fe-Co-B core planar inductor and a microfabricated vibrating diaphragm variable capacitor on adhesivel...
The early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease remains an unmet medical need due to the cost and invasiveness of current methods. Early detection would ensure a higher quality of life for patients, enabling timely and suitable treatment. We investi...
Thermal Magnetic Resonance (ThermalMR) integrates Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) diagnostics and targeted radio-frequency (RF) heating in a single theranostic device. The requirements for MRI (magnetic field) and targeted RF heating (electric field...
Conventional respiratory monitoring is often invasive, while most non-contact technologies like radar or cameras are limited to estimating respiratory rate, failing to reconstruct the detailed waveform of the respiratory flow itself. This gap limits...
