| Research Abstract |
The research group has developed a method for reconstructing 2D and 3D lossy objects with high contrast by using time-domain microwave data.
During the term of research we have carried out following research activities. (1)Simultaneous reconstructions of relative permittivity and conductivity of a 3D lossy object have succeeded from simulated data by taking the length of dipole antennas into account. (2)The 3D FBTS method has been applied to reconstruct a 2D lossless cylinder from experiment data excited and received by dipole antennas. In order to speed up the reconstruction, the received data are transformed into the data as if transmitted and received by ideal dipoles. Thus the forward simulation by using FDTD method for one transmitter and multiple receivers can be carried out simultaneously without the influence of coupling among the receiving dipole antennas. Then the transformed data are used in reconstruction. Reconstructed result is consistent with the known object both in the value of permittivity, and in the shape and size. (3)Migration velocity analysis by using genetic algorithm has been applied to field common transmitter ground penetrating data. From the distribution of relative permittivity obtained from velocity analysis the distribution of water content has been obtained. It is consistent with geological information obtained by other means.
