For the case of one body, the problem is solved for a body of arbitrary shape, using the corresponding boundary integral equation. For the case of many bodies, the problem is solved asymptotically under the physical assumptions a d a is the characteristic size of the bodies, d is the minimal distance between neighboring bodies, λ = 2π/k is the wave length and k is the wave number. Numerical results for the cases of one and many small bodies are presented. Error analysis for the numerical method is also provided.展开更多

The incident beam is represented by the vector expressions in Cartesian coordinates. The scattering problems involving homogeneous dielectric particles are formulated with the surface integral equation method. As an example, the effects of the beam＇s parameters on the differential scattering cross section for a sphere are analyzed in detail. Then the numerical results for the scattering of a high-order Bessel trigonometric beam by three typical nonspherieal particles, including a spheroid, a cylinder, and a cube, are presented.展开更多

In order to accelerate the convergence of the IPO model, the forward-backward methodology and its modification with underrelaxation iteration are developed to simulate the rough surface scattering; the local iteration methodology and the fast far field approximation（Fa FFA） in the matrix-vector product are proposed to reduce greatly the computational complexity. These techniques make Monte Carlo simulations possible. Thus, the average Doppler spectra of backscattered signals obtained from the simulations are compared for different incident angles and sea states. In particular, the simulations show a broadening of the Doppler spectra for a more complicated sea state at a low grazing angle（LGA）.展开更多

For this purpose, one can find two principal approaches: via electromagnetic (EM) models and empirical (EP) models. In both approaches, the Geophysical Model Functions (GMFs) are used to describe the relation of radar scattering, wind speed, and the geometry of observations. By knowing radar scattering and geometric parameters, it is possible to invert the GMFs to retrieve wind speed. It is very interesting to compare wind speed estimated by the EM models, general descriptions of radar scattering from sea surface, to the one estimated by the EP models, specific descriptions for the inverse problem. Based on the comparisons, some ideas are proposed to improve the performance of the EM models for wind speed retrieval.展开更多

Firstly a cost functional is constructed by using the measured amplitude of the total field, which is the norm of the discrepancy between the measured amplitude and the calculated one. Then both the amplitude and phase of the scattered field are retrieved by minimizing the above cost functional. Finally, the geometrical and electrical parameters are reconstructed by using the retrieved scattered field. The phase retrieval process can be achieved in a very short time without adding any burden to the whole inverse scattering problem. The equivalent current density is introduced to reduce the nonlinearity of the inverse problem. The reconstruction of the non-radiating component of the equivalent current density improves the imaging quality. Experimental results are presented for the first time to show the feasibility of inverse scattering from phaseless data. The experimental results also show the validity and stability of the proposed method.展开更多
