Abstract
This paper discusses a method for using the reflected signal from a stepped -frequency radar system to obtain the electrical permittivity and conductiv ity in a thin layer at the flat surface of a (possibly inhomogeneous) body. The method is based on a band-limited version of geometrical optics. (C) 1 999 IMACS/Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
