Abstract
We use the linear sampling method to determine the shape and surface conductivity of a partially coated dielectric from a knowledge of the far field pattern of the scattered electromagnetic wave at fixed frequency. A mathematical justification of the method is provided for the full 3D vector case based on the use of a complete family of solutions. Numerical examples are given.
