Target Identification Problems in Inverse Scattering Theory

Abstract

This grant is concerned with three problems that are of interest to Air Force needs: 1) The development of new 'target signatures' that can be determined from measured scattering data and used for the purposes of nondestructive testing, 2) The use of electromagnetic waves to detect delamination between layers of a structure and 3) The applicability of using transmission eigenvalues to investigate small scale effects on the mean field outside a periodic inhomogeneity.
