Solution of the inhomogeneity localization problem in objects with the given index refraction index

Abstract

Background. The purpose of the work is the development and software implementation of the brute force method for solving inverse diffraction problem. Material and methods. For solving the problem integral equations approach is used; for the numerical solution of the Lippmann – Schwinger equation, the collocation method is applied; for the effective solution of systems of linear algebraic equations, a special method of matrix inversion is used. Results. An efficient method for solving the problem of localization of a region of inhomogeneity with a given refractive index has been developed. Conclusions. The proposed method can be used for solving problems of microwave tomography with a small number of field measurements.
