	abstract = {A novel low-cost flexible antenna for a non-invasive and highly sensitive method to detect malign tumors in the early stages, contributing to diminishing the mortality which appears in the cases where the breast cancer was detected in late incurable stages. Using thin film Kapton substrate the flexible antenna has been built and carried out by the use of CST Microwave Studio software. The proposed structure operate in S-band (with reflection coefficient (S11) below-10dB) and has an ultra-wide band (UWB) characteristic providing an important bandwidth of about 2,4 GHz with a center frequency around 3 GHz. In order to predict the effect of the human body on the S-parameter response of the developed antenna design, an inhomogeneous multi-layer model of the women breast is used. The simulated results indicate that the proposed antenna kept it UWB property. The overall size of the miniaturized antenna is 20mm{\texttimes}22mm which make it very suitable for a radar-based breast cancer detection system. {\textcopyright} 2016 IEEE.},

	abstract = {A flexible microstrip antenna printed on a Kapton Polymide substrate, excited by a CPW feed line, and operated in S-band at 3.5GHz, is successfully validated. Unlike previous flexible antennas, this structure offers a very thin thickness (0.16mm) with overall dimensions of 36{\texttimes}25 mm2 that assure an easy integration into clothes and wireless body area network (WBAN) systems. Modeling and performance evaluation of the proposed antenna in term of return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, radiation pattern, and current distribution have been carried out using CST-MW STUDIO Software. {\textcopyright} 2015 IEEE.},
