In this study, we consider a sampling-type algorithm for the fast localization of small electromagnetic inhomogeneities from measured far-field pattern data in the limited-aperture inverse scattering problem. For this purpose, we designed an indicator function based on the structure of left- and right-singular vectors of a multistatic response matrix, the elements of which were measured far-field pattern data. We then rigorously investigated the mathematical structure of the indicator function in terms of purely dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability contrast cases by establishing a relationship with an infinite series of Bessel functions of an integer order of the first kind and a range of incident and observation directions before exploring various intrinsic properties of the algorithm, including its feasibility and limitations. Simulation results with synthetic data corrupted by random noise are presented to support the theoretical results.

The inverse scattering problem for acoustic waves in shallow oceans are different from that in the spaces of R2 and R3 in the way that the “propagating” far-field pattern can only carry the information from the N +1 propagating modes. This loss of information leads to the fact that the far-field pattern operator is not injective. In this paper, we will present some properties of the far-field pattern operator and use this information to construct an injective far-field pattern operator in a suitable subspace of L2(∂Ω). Based on this construction an optimal scheme for solving the inverse scattering problem is presented using the minimizing Tikhonov functional.

In this paper, we consider the application and analysis of subspace migration technique for a fast imaging of a set of perfectly conducting cracks with small length in two-dimensional limited-aperture inverse scattering problem. In particular, an imaging function of subspace migration with asymmetric multistatic response matrix is designed, and its new mathematical structure is constructed in terms of an infinite series of Bessel functions and the range of incident and observation directions. This is based on the structure of left and right singular vectors linked to the nonzero singular values of MSR matrix and asymptotic expansion formula due to the existence of cracks. Investigated structure of imaging function indicates that imaging performance of subspace migration is highly related to the range of incident and observation directions. The simulation results with synthetic data polluted by random noise are exhibited to support investigated structure.

AbstractThe inverse scattering problem considered in this paper is to reconstruct multiple sound-soft obstacles from one incident wave and its far field pattern. Based on the ideas of the Kirsch–Kress method and the hybrid Newton method, three variant Newton-type methods are developed for reconstructing the shape of multiple obstacles. The proposed hybrid Newton-type methods I and II can choose auxiliary curves adaptively, and do not require them to be contained in the unknown multiple obstacles. The proposed hybrid Newton-type method III is simpler than the hybrid Newton method developed by Kress in terms of computational complexity since it adopts quasi-Newton iterations in numerical reconstructions. Results of numerical examples show that the proposed methods, especially the one with both adaptively choosing auxiliary curves and quasi-Newton iterations, are more efficient and stable for reconstructing multiple obstacles.

We consider the inverse-scattering problem of determining the shape of a partly coated obstacle in R3 from a knowledge of the incident time-harmonic electromagnetic plane wave and the electric far-field pattern of the scattered wave. A justification is given of the linear sampling method in this case and numerical examples are provided showing the practicality of our method.

SynopsisLet D be a bounded simply connected domain in the plane and Ω the unit disk. Let F(Θ;k) be the far field pattern arising from the scattering of an incoming plane wave by the obstacle D and let an(k) denote the nth Fourier coefficient of F. Then if f conformally maps ℝ2\D onto ℝ2\Ω, a “moment” problem is derived which expresses an(k) in terms of f−1 for small values of the wave number k. The solution of this moment problem then gives the Laurent coefficients of f−1 and hence ∂D.

AbstractWe study the inverse problem of recovering the scatterer shape from the far-field pattern(FFP) in the presence of noise. Furthermore, only a discrete partial aperture is usually known. This problem is ill-posed and is frequently addressed using regularization. Instead, we propose to use a direct approach denoising the FFP using a filtering technique. The effectiveness of the technique is studied on a scatterer with the shape of the ellipse with a tower. The forward scattering problem is solved using the finite element method (FEM). The numerical FFP is additionally corrupted by Gaussian noise. The shape parameters are found based on a least-square error estimator. If ũ∞ is a perturbation of the FFP then we attempt to find Γ, the scatterer shape, which minimizes ∣∣ũ∞ − ũ∞∣∣ using the conjugate gradient method for the denoised FFP

Recently, a new method, called the extended sampling method (ESM), was proposed for the inverse scattering problems. Similar to the classical linear sampling method (LSM), the ESM is simple to implement and fast. Compared to the LSM which uses full-aperture scattering data, the ESM only uses the scattering data of one incident wave. In this paper, we generalize the ESM for the inverse acoustic source problems. We show that the indicator function of ESM, which is defined using the approximated solutions of some linear ill-posed integral equations, is small when the support of the source is contained in the sampling disc and is large when the source is outside. This behavior is similar to the ESM for the inverse scattering problem. Numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.

Abstract This paper is concerned with uniqueness in inverse electromagnetic scattering with phaseless far-field pattern at a fixed frequency. In our previous work (2018,SIAM J. Appl. Math. 78, 3024–3039), by adding a known reference ball into the acoustic scattering system, it was proved that the impenetrable obstacle and the index of refraction of an inhomogeneous medium can be uniquely determined by the acoustic phaseless far-field patterns generated by infinitely many sets of superpositions of two plane waves with different directions at a fixed frequency. In this paper, we extend these uniqueness results to the inverse electromagnetic scattering case. The phaseless far-field data are the modulus of the tangential component in the orientations ${\boldsymbol{e}}_\phi $ and ${\boldsymbol{e}}_\theta $, respectively, of the electric far-field pattern measured on the unit sphere and generated by infinitely many sets of superpositions of two electromagnetic plane waves with different directions and polarizations. Our proof is mainly based on Rellich’s lemma and the Stratton–Chu formula for radiating solutions to the Maxwell equations.

AbstractWe first examine the class of far field patterns for the scalar Helmholtz equation in ℝ2 corresponding to incident time harmonic plane waves subject to an impedance boundary condition where the impedance is piecewise constant with respect to the incident direction and continuous with respect to x ε ∂ D where ∂ D is the scattering obstacle. We then examine the class of far field patterns for Maxwell's equations in subject to an impedance boundary condition with constant impedance. The results obtained are used to derive optimization algorithms for solving the inverse scattering problem.
