Topic
Electromagnetic Inversion
Abstract
Electromagnetic inversion can be defined as the process by which some properties of an investigation domain are inferred from outer electromagnetic observations. The investigation domain may include scatterers (e.g., biological tissues) or electromagnetic sources (e.g., antennas). This process includes both data collection techniques and data interpretation algorithms (inversion algorithms), and has various applications within a wide range of the frequency spectrum. In this presentation, electromagnetic inversion within the microwave frequency range for three different application areas will be considered. These application areas are microwave tomography, arctic remote sensing, and near-field antenna measurements. Within this framework, different topics such as the achievable resolution, quantitative accuracy, and the use of a priori information are discussed.
