An approach to microwave imaging using a multiview moment method solution for a two-dimensional infinite cylinder

An approach based on a multiview solution to the inverse-scattering problem of a two-dimensional infinite cylinder is developed in a space-frequency domain. Microwave imaging is simulated by a computer algorithm using the moment method. To overcome ill-conditioning and solve nonsquare systems, a pseudoinverse transformation is employed. The equivalent current density and the complex conductivity are considered as object functions for image formation. The results of some numerical simulations in a noisy environment are reported. and a discussion of monoview and multiview imaging techniques for a space-frequency domain is presented. >
