Abstract

Target identification is concerned with obtaining information about a target from input-output data. Specifically, in identification of electromagnetic targets, we are concerned with the interaction between transmitted electromagnetic waves and scattering objects. Examples can be found in such disciplines as electrical methods in geophysical exploration, monostatic and bistatic radar, medical hyperthermia, and microwave imaging.
