A spectral inverse technique, which was developed by applying the pulse basis moment method procedure on the direct scattering problem in the reverse sequence for the reconstruction of complex permittivity profiles inside inhomogeneous dielectric objects, is modified to be applicable to the moment method with series-expanded basis. By performing numerical simulations for various type of dielectric objects, it is demonstrated that this inverse technique provides close reconstruction of permittivity profiles. Futhermore, compared to the previous scheme of the pulse basis, the presented method is shown to reduce the computation cost, relative error of reconstructed permittivity profiles by averaging in each cell, and the ill-posedness inherent to this inverse scattering problem.

A cylindrical object buried in the lossy half space is reconstructed from the measured scattered fields above the lossy half space. The position, the size and the medium parameters i.e. relative dielectric constants and conductivity of the buried object as well as the medium parameters of the background lossy half space are obtained from the scattered fields by using the iterative inversion method and the optimization hybrid algorithm combining the genetic algorithm and the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Illposedness of the inversion due to the measurement errors in the scattered fields are regularized by filtering out the evanescent modes in the spatial frequency spectrum domain.

In this paper, an iterative inversion method in angular spectral domain is presented for microwave imaging of a perfectly conducting cylinder. Angular spectra are calculated from measured far-field scattered fields. And then both the propagating modes and the evanescent modes are defined. The center and initial shape of an unknown conductor may be obtained by the characteristics of angular spectra and the total scattering cross section (TSCS). Finally, the orignal shape is reconstructed by the modified Newton algorithm. By using well estimated initial shape the local minima can be avoided, which might appear when the nonlinear equation is solved with Newton algorithm. It is shown to be robust to noise in scattered fields via numerical examples by keeping only the propagating modes and filtering out the evanescent modes.

다중채널 압축센싱(multi-channel compressive sensing) 문제는 0이 아닌 성분이 공통된 위치에 분포하는 벡터들을 복원하는 방법을 다루는 문제이며 레이다의 도착방향 추정 문제, 역산란 문제, 산란광 단층촬영과 같은 많은 실용적인 문제에 응용될 수 있다. 압축 센싱 문제는 성긴(sparse) 속성을 갖는 벡터를 상당히 높은 확률로 복원시킬 수 있음이 밝혀져 있다. 이로 인해 기존의 압축 센싱 방법이 다중채널 압축센싱에서도 많이 활용되어 왔으며, 측정 벡터의 개수가 적을 때에도 높은 확률로 입력 신호를 복원할 수 있다. 그러나, 측정 벡터의 개수가 많아질수록, 기존의 압축센싱 알고리즘을 이용했을 때의 성능은 복수신호분리 (MUSIC) 알고리즘과 같이 배열신호처리(array signal processing)에서 활용되는 방법을 적용했을 때보다 더 나쁜 특성을 보인다. 이러한 기존 방법의 문제점으로 인해 우리는 새로운 다중채널 압축센싱 알고리즘을 제시하고자 하며, 이는 기존의 압축센싱 이론과 배열 신호처리 알고리즘을 개별적으로 적용할 때 가지는 한계를 극복할 수 있게 해준다.

SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상은 경사촬영을 수행하므로 지형의 기복에 따른 영향을 많이 받는다. 따라서 SAR영상을 이용하여 여러 가지 정보들을 추출하여 이용하기 위해서는 전처리 과정으로서 지형의 기복에 따른 여러 가지 왜곡들을 보정해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 RADARSAT SAR 영상을 이용하여 궤도모델링, 정사보정을 수행하고 역산란계수, 국부입사각 계산 등을 통해 지형기복에 따른 방사왜곡보정을 수행하였다.

In this paper, we developed MoM(Moment of Method) forward solver to implement the inverse scattering by using BIM(Born Iterative Method) for the detection of cancer in human body Especially, we adopted two-dimensional breast structure to analyze electromagnetic scattered phenomena. For the two-dimensional scattering structure, the integral equations is solved with MoM employing two-dimensional Green's function. Also, calculated results are compared with the measured results obtained from breast cancer detecting equipment.

In this paper, we propose an threshold-based Schur algorithm for estimating the media characteristics of sub-bottom multi-layers by using the signal generated by a parametric array transducer. We use the KZK model to generate a parametric array signal, and use the proposed threshold-based Schur algorithm for estimating the reflection coefficients of multiple sea bottom layers. Using computer simulation, we verify that the difference frequency component generated by the KZK model prevails over the signals of primary frequencies at long range. For the simulation, we use the transmit signal generated by the KZK and the reflected signal obtained from a lattice filter model for the seawater and sub-bottom of multi-level non-homogeneous layers. Through the simulation, we verify that the proposed threshold-based Schur algorithm can give much more accurate and efficient estimates of the reflection coefficients than methods using received signal, matched filter output signal, and normal Schur algorithm output.

A technique to obtain an exact frequency characteristics of desired targets in radar measurements is presented. The pulsing network composed of two RF switches was installed between the Network Analyzer and the antenna, and the backscattering from a metal sphere was measured at X-band. It is shown that the pulsing effectively eliminated undesired returns from antenna and other circuitry of the systems. The antenna return was suppressed by more than 60 dB, and the signal-to-noise ratio was improved drastically. The pulsed frequency data were processed to extract the responses of the desired target. The result agrees well with the theoretical backscattering characteristics of the sphere. The methods presented here are applicable to RCS measurements in compact ranges, and also to the backscattering measurements of distributed targets outdoors.

The permittivity distribution of a two-dimensional high-contrast object with large size, which leads to the global minimum of cost function, is reconstructed by iteratively using the hybrid algorithm of Levenberg-magquardt algorithm(LMA) plus Genetic Algorithm(GA). The scattered fields calculated in a cost function are expanded in angular spectral modes, of which only effective propagating modes are used. The definition of cost function based on the effective propagating modes enables us to formulate the minimum number of incident waves for the reconstruction of object. It is numerically shown that LMA has an advantage of fast convergence but can't reconstruct a high-contrast object with large size and GA can reconstruct a high-contrast object with large size but has an disadvantage of slow convergence, whereas an inverse scattering technique using the hybrid algorithm adopts only advantages of LMA and GA.
