چکیده
We consider the inverse scattering problem of determining the shape of a perfect conductor D from a knowledge of the scattered electromagnetic wave generated by a time-harmonic plane wave incident upon D. By using polarization e ects we establish the validity of the linear sampling method for solving this problem that is valid for all positive values of the wave number. We also show that it su ces to consider incident directions and observation angles that are restricted to a limited aperture. Copyright ? 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

متن کاملA Point-source Method in Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering
We present the mathematical foundation for a point-source method PSM to solve inverse electromagnetic perfect-conductor obstacle scattering problems. The PSM gives a new and explicit procedure how to compute locally from the far eld pattern E 1 an approximation for the total electric eld E near the unknown obstacle. The PSM then searches for the boundary of the obstacle as a zero-curve of p E w...
متن کاملPro%le inversion in scattering theory: the TE case
In this paper we discuss an inverse problem in which we try and determine the refractive index corresponding to the scattering of electromagnetic waves by an inhomogeneous medium from far-%eld data. In particular, we shall extend the dual-space method developed by Colton and Monk (Inverse Problems 10 (1994) 87) for the TM case to the more complicated TE case and consider the case of single freq...
متن کاملThe Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering
We consider the electromagnetic inverse scattering problem of determining the support of an orthotropic or anisotropic anomaly in a homogeneous background medium from a knowledge of the electric far eld pattern corresponding to the scattering of electromagnetic plane waves. Our aim is to derive a linear integral equation of the rst kind from which the support of the anomaly can be found by exam...
متن کاملOn uniqueness of an inverse problem in electromagnetic obstacle scattering for an impedance cylinder
We consider an inverse problem for the scattering of an obliquely incident electromagnetic wave by an impedance cylinder. In previous work, we have shown that the direct scattering problem is governed by a pair of Helmholtz equations subject to coupled oblique boundary conditions, where the wave number depends on the frequency and the incident angle with respect to the axis of the cylinder. In ...
