M. Norgren et Sl. He, AN OPTIMIZATION APPROACH TO THE FREQUENCY-DOMAIN INVERSE PROBLEM FOR A NONUNIFORM LCRG TRANSMISSION-LINE, IEEE transactions on microwave theory and techniques, 44(8), 1996, pp. 1503-1507
The inverse problem for a nonuniform LCRG transmission Line is conside
red in the frequency domain, Imbedding equations for the reflection an
d transmission coefficients are derived through the concept of wave-sp
litting, An optimization approach is applied to reconstruct the Line p
arameters as functions of the position using band-limited reflection a
nd/or transmission data, Exact and explicit expressions for the gradie
nts are derived, and the reconstruction algorithm (based upon a conjug
ate gradient method) is tested with both clean and noisy data, The pro
blem of the nonuniqueness is also discussed.
