Description

An approximately globally convergent numerical method for a 1D coefficient inverse problem for a hyperbolic PDE is applied to image dielectric constants of targets from blind experimental data. The data were collected in the field by the Forward Looking Radar of the US Army Research Laboratory. A posteriori analysis has revealed that computed and tabulated values of dielectric constants are in good agreement. Convergence analysis is presented. (paper)
