Abstract :
The well-known inverse scattering problem is discussed for the multistatic case. With physical optics a reconstruction of the equivalent sources of the scattered field is proposed giving the location of the scatterer´s surface as well as its inclination. The resulting multidimensional Fourier transform relationships can be discussed regarding resolution, which can be achieved provided the range of aspects and the available frequency band are limited. When the object domain is given the application of the sampling theorem ensures the minimum possible number of measurements without degradation of the results.
