  • Abstract
    One-dimensional inverse-scattering theory is applied to the study of the reflection of electromagnetic waves from an inhomogeneous region having a refractive index n(x) = [1-(1/k^{2})q(x)]^{1/2} where k = 2\\pi/\\lambda , and \\lambda is the free-space wavelength. The exact refractive index profile is obtained that will produce a reflection coefficient in which the frequency dependence is described by the Butterworth approximation.
