Abstract :
Studies of the diffraction tomography of dielectric objects in forward and backward scattering using a frequency diversity technique in the microwave region are presented. Numerical results show that the image reconstructed in the backward scattering case is better than that obtained in the forward scattering case. This shows that this cost-effective technique has potential in medical and nondestructive testing applications
