Abstract :
One-dimensional inverse-scattering theory is applied to the study of the reflection of electromagnetic waves from an inhomogeneous region having a refractive index
![n(x) = [1-(1/k^{2})q(x)]^{1/2}](/images/tex/13634.gif)
where

, and

is the free-space wavelength. The exact refractive index profile is obtained that will produce a reflection coefficient in which the frequency dependence is described by the Butterworth approximation.
