Abstract

An approach to microwave imaging using a multi-illumination technique is proposed. The numerical solution is reached by a multi-illumination-angle multiview approach based on the moment method. The aim is to extend the application range of the Born approximation by utilizing a-priori information about a scatterer. The basic idea of the approach is outlined, and preliminary results are reported.
