Breast cancer is one of the deadliest forms of disease that affects women worldwide. X-ray mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound are all helpful methods of medical imaging, but they have their own limitations due to low tissue contrast and side effects. Millimeter wave (mmWave) imaging has been offered as a viable alternative to the conventional screening methods due to their drawbacks. Without exposing the patient to ionizing radiations, malignant lesions can be detected by using the dielectric discontinuities in the tissues. The purpose of this work is to develop a simple, low-cost miniaturized mmWave imaging antenna sensor that can be used to detection of breast tumors or cancers in women by monitoring the changes in the antenna’s S11 parameter. The dimension of the proposed rectangular mmWave antenna is 5 mm
