A BCS microwave imaging algorithm for object detection and shape reconstruction tested with experimental data

Abstract An approach based on the Green function and the Born approximation is used for impulsive radio ultra‐wideband microwave imaging, in which a permittivity map of the illuminated scenario is estimated using the scattered fields measured at several positions. Two algorithms are applied to this...
