Abstract

A simple time-domain imaging technique based on the space-time magnetic field integral equation is presented, using an exponential pulse modulated sine pulse (EPMS) as the incident field, and employing the inverse Radon transform. The effects of lower frequency data are explicitly considered. A realistic example, using scattered field data measured in the Michigan State University electromagnetic laboratory, is presented.
