3-DIMENSIONAL ELECTROMAGNETIC INVERSE SCATTERING FOR BIISOTROPIC DISPERSIVE MEDIA

The time-domain inverse problem of determining the three-dimensional p arameter functions for the biisotropic dispersive medium is considered . Maxwell's equations are rewritten in terms of the tangential fields. Time domain wave-splitting of Maxwell's equations is applied to the t otal field that is generated by a dipole exterior to the scattering me dium. The structure of the electromagnetic fields is analyzed, and the transport equations are given. The reconstruction condition is derive d for a layer-stripping approach.
