Advanced Narrowband Electromagnetic Size and Shape Determination
Abstract
This report discusses a fundamental radar imaging problem for narrowband electromagnetic waves that extends the recent results originally obtained in [1, 2] in the scalar, or acoustic, setting. In particular we demonstrate the ability to efficiently image three-dimensional convex conducting bodies by using the knowledge of the scattered electric field for one fixed monochromatic illumination of the target. In this problem our knowledge of the scattered electric wave is understood to be in the form of measurements of the amplitude and phase of the tangential components of the radiated electric field (generated by the radar target) on a finite two-dimensional array. We also provide a more general version of this streamlined result that describes imaging of multiply connected nonconvex objects with the same measurements.
