Suppose that a medium with slowly changing spatial properties is enclosed in a bounded 3-dimensional domain and is subjected to a scattering by plane waves of a fixed frequency. Let measurements of the wave scattering field induced by this medium be available in the region outside of this domain. We study how to extract the properties of the medium from the information contained in the measurements. We are concerned with the weak scattering case of the above inverse scattering problem (ISP), that is, the unknown. spatial variations of the medium are assumed to be close to a constant. Examples can be found in the studies of the wave propagation in oceans, in the atmosphere, and in some biological media. Since the problems are nonlinear, the methods for their linearization (the Born approximation) have been developed. However, such an approach often does not produce good results. In our method, the Born approximation is just the first iteration and further iterations improve the identification by an order of magnitude. The iterative sequence is defined in the framework of a Quasi-Newton method. Using the measurements of the scattering field from a carefully chosen set of directions we are able to recover (finitely many) Fourier coefficients of the sought parameters of the model. Numerical experiments for the scattering from coaxial circular cylinders as well as for simulated data are presented.

Abstract An inverse scattering problem of cylindrical bodies of arbitrary cross section buried in a circular cylinder with resistive boundary is presented. The reconstruction is obtained from the scattered field measurements for a plane wave illumination under the Born approximation. Illustrative examples are presented in order to see the applicability of the method as well as to see the effects of some parameters on the solution.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the inverse scattering problem for the three-dimensional Maxwell equations in bi-anisotropic periodic structures. The inverse scattering problem aims to determine the shape of bi-anisotropic periodic scatterers from electromagnetic near-field data at a fixed frequency. The factorization method is studied as an analytical and numerical tool for solving the inverse problem. We provide a rigorous justification of the factorization method which results in the unique determination and a fast imaging algorithm for the periodic scatterer. Numerical examples for imaging three-dimensional periodic structures are presented to examine the efficiency of the method.
