MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114966 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Nov. 21, 2025, for 'terahertz antenna for breast cancer detection.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Anupma; Dr. Vipan Kumar; Dr. Gaurav Bathla; and Dr. Shonak Bansal.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A novel terahertz (THz) microstrip patch antenna for breast cancer detection is disclosed. The antenna operates from 3.1 to 9 THz and utilizes a graphene-based patch and ground plane on a flexible polyimide (Kapton) substrate. The compact (18 m 23 m) structure employs a decagonal patch merged with circular stubs and slots to achieve wideband performance and high gain. When applied to a breast phantom model, the antenna detects dielectric variations corresponding to cancerous tissues, showing S11 variations up to 23.5 dB and gain of 7.99 dBi. Its full ground plane ensures unidirectional radiation, enabling high-resolution, non-invasive imaging suitable for wearable diagnostic systems."
