Abstract: This paper presents an approach for shape and position reconstruction of a scattering object using microwaves where the scatterer is assumed to be a homogenous dielectric medium. The employed technique assumes no prior knowledge of the scatter’s material properties like electric permittivity and conductivity, and the far-field pattern is used as the only primary information in identification. The approach proposed consists of retrieving the shape and the position of the scattering object using a linear sampling method. The technique results in high computational speed and efficiency. In addition, the technique can be generalized for any scatterer structure. Numerical results are used to validate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
