DIFFERENT AND MORE DIRECT APPROACH TO THE INVERSE EDGE BACKSCATTERING PROBLEM

Abstract

In a report R. M. Lewis has shown how the body motion and geometric parameters of an edge located on a torque-free axi-symmetric conducting body could be determined by knowing the short pulse backscattered cross sections of the isolated edge at two different polarizations as functions of time. The purpose of this report is to indicate another more direct and more practical approach to the inverse edge backscattering problem still utilizing the same measured data as Lewis's. The convenience of one approach over the other will become apparent in this paper.
