Abstract: An imaging system and a device for breast cancer detection are disclosed. The device includes a plurality of antennas arranged to form a polyhedral cup shape against which the breast is pressed. The antennas are mounted flat circuit boards which comprise the antennas and RF transceiver RFICs and are configured to hinge together to form a multichip module. The polyhedral shape allows antennas to be in direct contact with the breast skin without any intermediate medium. This enables dielectric constant of antennas matched with that of the breast skin or tissues thereby reducing reflections from skin-fat boundary.
