MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641017990 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College; and Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 18, for 'design of antipodal vivaldi antenna with cnn based classification for non-invasive breast cancer detection.'

Inventor(s) include Meenakshi R; Praveen Kumar S; S B Priyaa; and Bindu Babu.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention provides a microwave-based breast cancer detection system designed to identify abnormal tissue characteristics through controlled electromagnetic interrogation. The apparatus employs an Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna to illuminate the breast region and collect reflected signals, with the measured S11 response forming the core diagnostic parameter. The acquired data is processed through a staged analytical pipeline that incorporates calibrated preprocessing, feature isolation, and Specific Absorption Rate computation to characterize variations in dielectric behavior. A localization and machine-learning module evaluates these parameters to determine the presence and approximate position of anomalous tissue. The system delivers a compact, repeatable, and non-ionizing detection method capable of supporting early screening applications in both clinical and resource-limited environments."
