Quantitative imaging using scattering matrix: Influence of the polarization
Résumé
This paper deals with the polarization aspect in 3D inverse scattering. The vectorial information contained in the scattering matrix is often under-exploited in quantitative inverse scattering problems even if it has been expensively studied in radar processing. In this work, we present a study of the influence of the polarization state of the electromagnetic wave on the reconstructed permittivity maps. Reconstructions performed from measurements of the scattering matrix in two different polarization basis are compared and discussed.
