Description
Summary:This work is devoted to the development and implementation of a two-step method for solving the vector three-dimensional inverse diffraction problem on an inhomogeneous dielectric scatterer having the form of a hemisphere characterized by piecewise constant permittivity. The original boundary value problem for Maxwell’s equations is reduced to a system of integro-differential equations. An integral formulation of the vector inverse diffraction problem is proposed and the uniqueness of the solution of the first-kind integro-differential equation in special function classes is established. A two-step method for solving the vector inverse diffraction problem on the hemisphere is developed. Unlike traditional approaches, the two-step method for solving the inverse problem is non-iterative and does not require knowledge of the exact initial approximation. Consequently, there are no issues related to the convergence of the numerical method. The results of calculations of approximate solutions to the inverse problem are presented. It is shown that the two-step method is an efficient approach to solving vector problems in near-field tomography.
