The Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering Problem for Anisotropic Media ‡
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for anisotropic media plays a special role in inverse scattering theory due to the fact that the (matrix) index of refraction is not uniquely determined from the far field pattern of the scattered field even if multi-frequency data is available. In this paper we describe how transmission eigenvalues can be determined from the far field pattern and be used to obtain upper and lower bounds on the norm of the index of refraction. Numerical examples will be given for the case when the scattering object is an infinite cylinder and the inhomogeneous medium is orthotropic.

متن کاملA Uniqueness Theorem for an Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering Problem in Inhomogeneous Anisotropic Media
We show that the support of a (possibly) coated anisotropic medium is uniquely determined by the electric far-field patterns corresponding to incident time-harmonic electromagnetic plane waves with arbitrary polarization and direction. Our proof avoids the use of a fundamental solution to Maxwell’s equations in an anisotropic medium and instead relies on the well-posedness and regularity proper...
متن کاملInverse Acoustic and Electromagnetic Scattering Theory
This paper is a survey of the inverse scattering problem for time-harmonic acoustic and electromagnetic waves at fixed frequency. We begin by a discussion of “weak scattering” and Newton-type methods for solving the inverse scattering problem for acoustic waves, including a brief discussion of Tikhonov’s method for the numerical solution of ill-posed problems. We then proceed to prove a uniquen...
متن کاملA Variational Approach for the Solution of the Electromagnetic Interior Transmission Problem for Anisotropic Media
The interior transmission problem plays a basic role in the study of inverse scattering problems for inhomogeneous medium. In this paper we study the interior transmission problem for the Maxwell equations in the electromagnetic scattering problem for an anisotropic inhomogeneous object. We use a variational approach which extends the method developed in [15] to the case when the index of refra...
متن کاملInterior Transmission Problem for Anisotropic Media
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the inverse scattering problem for anisotropic medium, particularly in the case of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Due to the lack of uniqueness in determining the constitutive parameters, traditional methods for solving the inverse scattering problems based on the use of weak scattering approximations or nonlinear optimization t...
