  • Abstract
    This work presents a new radar based reconstruction method which can be used to find the shape of a Perfect Electric Conductor (PEC) under test in a fast and accurate manner. The method is based on relating the actual scattered field and the one generated by the controlled displacement of a first guess contour and then solve a non-linear minimization problem. Multiple frequencies are used to improve the reconstruction results.
