N2 - Due to its unsafety and high price, computed to-mography (CT) technology is difficult to be widely used in breast cancer screening. This paper proposes a time-domain microwave system based on ultra-broadband pulses for breast cancer screening. The system is mainly composed of several antennas, a pulse generator, an oscilloscope, a turntable, and a computer. Acrylic cylinders with different specifications are used to simulate breast tissue. Data collection is automatically completed under the control of the computer. Finally, the dummy tissues are imaged based on the delay-multiply-and-sum (DMAS) algorithm. The experimental results show that tumors can be roughly localized by the proposed system, which means that the time-domain microwave system can serve as a promising candidate for breast cancer screening.
