Abstract
This last chapter on obstacle scattering is concerned with the extension of the results from Chapter 5 on inverse acoustic scattering to inverse electromagnetic scattering. In order to avoid repeating ourselves, we keep this chapter short by referring back to the corresponding parts of Chapter 5 when appropriate. In particular, for notations and for the motivation of our analysis we urge the reader to get reacquainted with the corresponding analysis in Chapter 5 on acoustics. We again follow the general guideline of our book and consider only one of the many possible inverse electromagnetic obstacle problems: given the electric far field pattern for one or several incident plane electromagnetic waves and knowing that the scattering obstacle is perfectly conducting, find the shape of the scatterer.
