Abstract

The process of reconstruction of two-dimensional refractive-absorbing scatterers by the modified Novikov algorithm is considered. A generalization of this algorithm to the multifrequency mode is proposed. The scattering data obtained at different frequencies are combined in the process of the solution using the a priori known frequency dependence of the scatterer function, which yields the constraint equations that are absent in the single-frequency version. It is shown that the problem of reconstruction instability observed in strong scatterers in the single-frequency mode can be removed by the multifrequency mode. The quality of the scatterer estimate in the multifrequency mode is significantly higher than that of the estimate obtained by straightforwardly averaging the single-frequency solutions. Interference resistance of the algorithm is sufficiently high to allow its application in practice.
