Direct sampling method for anomaly imaging from S-parameter
Incremental method for anomaly detection in electromagnetic imaging, providing a faster alternative for specific scenarios.
The paper develops a fast imaging technique for small anomalies in homogeneous media using S-parameter data, and establishes a relationship between the indicator function and Bessel functions. Simulation results at 1GHz support the identified structure.
In this paper, we develop a fast imaging technique for small anomalies located in homogeneous media from S-parameter data measured at dipole antennas. Based on the representation of S-parameters when an anomaly exists, we design a direct sampling method (DSM) for imaging an anomaly and establishing a relationship between the indicator function of DSM and an infinite series of Bessel functions of integer order. Simulation results using synthetic data at f=1GHz of angular frequency are illustrated to support the identified structure of the indicator function.
