Breast cancer is the most incident tumor among the female population, and early detection is key for long-term survival. X-ray mammography is the general approach for the regular monitoring of the breast, but it is uncomfortable and only provides 2D images. Microwave imaging using ultra-wideband radar techniques is an emerging method to replace X-ray mammography. In this paper, we review three most promising architectures of ultra-wideband radar systems, suitable for breast cancer imaging, to highlight the pros and cons in system design, calibrations as well as data processing for breast cancer imaging application.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most incident tumor among the female population, and early detection is key for long-term survival. X-ray mammography is the general approach for the regular monitoring of the breast, but it is uncomfortable and only provides 2D images. Microwave imaging using ultra-wideband radar techniques is an emerging method to replace X-ray mammography. In this paper, we review three most promising architectures of ultra-wideband radar systems, suitable for breast cancer imaging, to highlight the pros and cons in system design, calibrations as well as data processing for breast cancer imaging application.
