Microwave imaging of elliptically shaped dielectric cylinders by means of an Lp Banach-space inversion algorithm

Microwave imaging apparatuses have become very important tools in the framework of imaging systems. However, particular care must be taken when developing the data-processing algorithm needed to solve the underlying nonlinear and ill-posed inverse problem. Usually, regularization techniques developed in the framework of Hilbert spaces are used. In this paper, a new approach based on a regularization in the framework of L-p Banach spaces is considered, and its performances are evaluated by considering a reference canonical target with elliptical cross section.
