Preliminary Investigations of Three-Dimensional Microwave Tomography using Different Data Sets

Paper i proceeding, 2012

Owing to the extensive amount of computing resources required for solving the non-linear microwave inverse scattering problems, previous numerical studies have mainly been focus on two-dimensional inverse scattering problem. In three-dimensional cases, the vectorial nature of electromagnetic waves has to be properly handled. In this paper, preliminary investigations of using vertical and horizontal components of the scattered near-field are considered. The forward data is first evaluated quantitatively and image reconstruction using the two different sets of data from the same scattering problem is performed.
