Abstract
This paper presents a design of an ultra-wideband (UWB) transparent microstrip patch antenna with high performance using polyimide as a substrate and copper as a conductors to be applicable in the medical field. The antenna is designed to resonate at lower frequency bands as much as possible based on the application which is skin cancer detection. The characteristics of the antenna is analyzed by using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software at frequency range from 100GHz to 20THz. The proposed antenna has broad bandwidth (BW), high gain and radiation efficiency. � 2017 IEEE.
