Assuming that the electric field is polarized in the TM mode, this leads to a mixed boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation defined in the exterior of an open arc in R2. We suppose that the arc has mixed Dirichlet impedance boundary condition, and try to recover the shape of the arc through the far field pattern by using the factorization method.
