Abstract

A through-wall imaging problem for a 2-D scalar geometry is addressed. It is cast as an inverse scattering problem and tackled under the linear model of the electromagnetic scattering that is provided by the Born approximation. A truncated singular value decomposition inversion scheme is exploited, and the performances that are achievable by such an inversion scheme are assessed by exploiting synthetic data. The cases of weakly and strongly scattering objects are both considered. Finally, an example of reconstruction that is obtained by exploiting experimental data is presented.
