Abstract

In this paper, we consider the inverse shape problem of recovering small and extended isotropic scatterers with a conductive boundary condition. Here, we assume that the measured far-field data is known at a fixed wave number. We will provide qualitative reconstruction methods for recovering either small or extended scatterers. For the case of small scatterers, we model this by a region(possibly with multiple components) with small volume. We derive an asymptotic expansion for the far-field pattern which will allow us to study the MUSIC algorithm for solving the problem. In the case of an extended scatterer, we derive a new factorization of the far-field operator. This is then used to provide the resolution analysis for a direct sampling method. The theoretical results are verified with some numerical experiments in 2--dimensions.
