Geometry Reconstruction of Metallic Bodies Using the Sources Reconstruction Method

This letter presents a novel application of the Sources Reconstruction Method (SRM) for geometry reconstruction. Foundations of this work are based on the correspondence between the placement of the metallic objects and the highest values of the reconstructed equivalent currents. In order to improve the accuracy of the method, reconstructed equivalent currents, due to different incident waves and working frequencies, are combined. Application examples using simulated data are presented.
