Abstract :
The limited aperture problem of physical optics inverse scattering is examined via the method of multidimensional stationary phase. It is shown that target information is recoverable from bandlimited and aspect-limited scattering data. Numerical examples are presented for the case of a perfectly reflecting circular cylinder.
