Abstract

The possible use of a microwave sensor network for quantitatively reconstructing the electromagnetic properties of unknown targets is considered in this paper. In particular, a set of microwave sensors is used to measure the z-component of the electric field in a free-space scenario. The resulting field measurements are then processed by means of an inversescattering based technique, which provides an estimated map of the dielectric properties of the targets eventually present in the area under investigation. Preliminary numerical results in a simulated environment are shown in order to initially assess the feasibility of the proposed approach.
