Presented here is an advanced implementation of a microwave tomographic approach, which is capable of accounting for the near-field distribution generated by antennas commonly used in typical monostatic and bistatic Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems. The algorithm is applied to process numerical data obtained by means of a reliable and efficient full-wave simulation tool. This latter enables us to achieve an accurate determination of the electromagnetic field incident in the probed medium as well as of the backscattered field generated by metallic or dielectric hidden targets. Various non-ideal effects in the investigated scenarios are considered, in order to verify soundness and effectiveness of the reconstruction procedure.

Abstract
Presented here is an advanced implementation of a microwave tomographic approach, which is capable of accounting for the near-field distribution generated by antennas commonly used in typical monostatic and bistatic Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems. The algorithm is applied to process numerical data obtained by means of a reliable and efficient full-wave simulation tool. This latter enables us to achieve an accurate determination of the electromagnetic field incident in the probed medium as well as of the backscattered field generated by metallic or dielectric hidden targets. Various non-ideal effects in the investigated scenarios are considered, in order to verify soundness and effectiveness of the reconstruction procedure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
