The effectiveness of a linear inverse scattering algorithm for the shape reconstruction of perfectly conducting objects is experimentally validated by processing measured data. The data are collected via an automatic system for free-space measurements under reflection mode geometry. The amplitude and phase of the scattered field is measured in a multistatic and multifrequency configuration for different locations (views) of the transmitting antenna. The reliability of the measurement setup is shown by a comparison with simulated data. No a priori knowledge of the shape of the scatterers is assumed. The results of inversions of experimental data collected under single-view illumination agree well with those of inversions of synthetic data, so showing the robustness of the algorithm.

Abstract
The effectiveness of a linear inverse scattering algorithm for the shape reconstruction of perfectly conducting objects is experimentally validated by processing measured data. The data are collected via an automatic system for free-space measurements under reflection mode geometry. The amplitude and phase of the scattered field is measured in a multistatic and multifrequency configuration for different locations (views) of the transmitting antenna. The reliability of the measurement setup is shown by a comparison with simulated data. No a priori knowledge of the shape of the scatterers is assumed. The results of inversions of experimental data collected under single-view illumination agree well with those of inversions of synthetic data, so showing the robustness of the algorithm.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
