Abstract

The problem of reconstructing dielectric permittivity of a buried object from the knowledge of the scattered field is considered for a two-dimensional rectangular geometry at a fixed frequency. The linearization of the mathematical relationship between the dielectric permittivity function and the scattered field about a constant reference profile function and the approximation of actual internal field with the unperturbed field leads to the so-called Distorted Born Approximation. To analyze the limitations and capabilities of the linear inversion algorithms, we investigate the class of the retrievable profiles. This analysis makes it possible to point out that a very reduced number of independent data is available, so requiring to employ regularization techniques in order to perform in a reliable and stable way the linear inversions. In this paper we present a general algorithm consisting in a regularized Singular Value Decomposition of the matrix resulting from a discretization of the problem. Finally, numerical results of linear inversions are given.
