INVERSE SCATTERING INVESTIGATION
Abstract
A brief review of the salient features of the theoretical investigation of the c.w. bistatic inverse scattering problem is presented. The effect of changing the origin of the coordinate system upon the convergent properties etc., of the spherical vector wave function representation of the near scattered field and the surface loci Ex E*=0, is discussed. It is pointed out that a great deal of analysis remains to be done in this area. The determination of the surface of the scattering body from knowledge of the local total electric field is given. Emphasis is placed upon the generalization of the condition Ex E*=0 as applied to perfectly-conducting bodies, to scattering surfaces characterized by the impedance boundary condition. Properties of the matrix inversion associated with the determination of the expansion coefficients from far field data are discussed. Some numerical results are presented, and restrictions upon the choice of aspect angles are deduced.
