چکیده
A numerical method and experimental technique for microwave imaging of inhomogeuons bodies is presented. This method is based on the interpretation of the diffraction phenomena and leads to tomographic reconstruction of the body under investigation. Various nnmerical examples are given on spatial impulse response, recognition of dielectric rods, inhomogeneous bodies, and simulated human arm. Different experimental results on dielectric rods and isolated animal organs are also given.

QUANTITATIVE IMAGING USING A 2.45 GHz PLANAR CAMERA
Microwave imaging is recognized as an efficient diagnostic modality for no invasively visualizing dielectric contrasts in non metallic bodies. The usefulness of this modality results from the existing correlation between dielectric properties and quantities of practical relevance for industrial or biomedical applications. At the beginning of the 80’s, Supélec developed a 2.45 GHz planar microwa...

متن کاملMicrowave Imaging of Buried Inhomogeneous Objects Using Parallel Genetic Algorithm Combined with Fdtd Method
Microwave imaging of buried objects has been widely used in sensing and remote-sensing applications. It can be formulated and solved as inverse scattering problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid numerical technique based on the parallel genetic algorithm (GA) and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for determining the location and dimensions of two-dimensional inhomogeneous obj...
متن کاملA Parallel Analysis of the Scattering from Inhomogeneous Dielectric Bodies by the Volume Integral Equation and the Precorrected-fft Algorithm
In this paper, a parallel implementation of the precorrected fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm is presented to efficiently solve the volume-integral equation for scattering from inhomogeneous dielectric objects. Several examples are given to demonstrate the efficiency and correctness of the message-passing interface (MPI)-based parallelization algorithm. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Micr...
