In this study, an antenna array composed of 9 antennas is applied to the detection. The double constrained robust capon beamforming （DCRCB） algorithm is used for reconstructing the breast image due to its better stability and high signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio （SINR）. The successful detection of a tumor of 2 mm in diameter shown in the reconstruction demonstrates the robustness of the DCRCB beamforming algorithm. This study verifies the feasibility of detecting small breast tumors by using the DCRCB imaging algorithm.展开更多
