Techniques for Noninvasive Reconstruction of Inhomogeneous Lossy Dielectric Targets using Interrogating Microwaves

A class of microwave imaging methods based on integral equations and the moment method is considered. In particular, a pseudoinversion-based multiview approach and an alternative version making use of the first-order Born approximation are presented. Results on dielectric reconstructions of cylindrical scatterers with high complex dielectric permittivities are reported. An approach to the reconstruction of objects buried in a half-space is also described.
