Abstract
In this paper, diagnostic of cancer using THz technology have been studied. [1,2]. THz technique for cancer detection is much reliable and safer technique as compared to conventional methods. To study the behavior of cancer cells and normal cells using THz technology, simulation model has been developed using COMSOL software.[3] In COMSOL Multiphysics, the 3D modeling of the cancer cell kept inside the waveguide have been designed using heat module and RF module. The waveguide taken in the simulation model is WR-6, with frequency range of 110 GHz to 170 GHz with step size 10 GHz, while the cancer cell is placed in center of waveguide. The difference in transmissive and reflective property of cancer cell and normal cell have been analyzed. The comparative analysis has been performed for these different cells by shining the Sub-Terahertz signal. The resultant S-parameter clearly depicts the difference in reflection and transmission parameter property of cells.
