Abstract
Within the last decade, multistatic radar systems have been reported for use in breast cancer detection. In this paper, the authors contribute to this field with a study on antenna array configuration and its consequence on image quality using the Delay-Multiply-and-Sum (DMAS) algorithm. Four different array configurations are presented and tested on a 3-D numerical breast phantom. We show the results for and demonstrate the advantages of symmetrical, regularly-spaced and asymmetric irregular antenna arrangement.
