The exploitation of electromagnetic field data as a sensing tool paves the way to a number of interesting engineering applications including antenna testing and characterization, biomedical diagnostics, humanitarian demining, archeological prospection, through-the-wall imaging, non-destructive testing of transport infrastructures and buildings, and many others.
This course, after reviewing fundamental equations and main difficulties of inverse problems in high-frequency electromagnetics, will focus on classical and recently introduced solution procedures and algorithms, discussing capabilities, limitations, and perspectives of both approximate and ‘exact’ reconstruction methods. Applicative examples, including exercises and lessons regarding specific applications, with focus on the topics of relevant COST Actions (Medical Imaging: http://cost-action-td1301.org; GPR: www.gpradar.eu), will corroborate the developed concepts.
