Direct scattering of electromagnetic waves by one- and two-dimensional objects and its use for inverse profiling
Abstract
Electromagnetic scattering problems as indicated in transient plane wave scattering by an inhomogeneous, lossy dielectric obstacle embedded in vacuum is investigated. As far as the direct scattering problem is concerned, transient plane wave scattering by one- and two-dimensional, inhomogeneous, penetrable obstacles are concentrated on. In the inverse case, the discussion is limited to the class of one dimensional problems. Thanks to these restrictions, the analytical as well as the computational aspects of a number of solution techniques were investigated in full detail. In formulating these solution techniques, on the other hand, the authors have attempted to preserve their capability of being generalized to more complicated geometries.
