Description
Summary:This paper deals with both forward and inverse electromagnetic scattering of metallic objects by focused Bessel-shaped incident field. After discussing the main features of this kind of field, it is shown that its focusing capabilities may offer new effective possibilities for the detection of metallic targets which are not so far extended with respect to the probing wavelength, i.e., not satisfying the hypotheses of physical optics approximation. Numerical examples are performed by means of full-wave simulations, and then inversion algorithms based on back-propagation and physical optics are exploited to show that more accurate reconstructions can be pursued using Bessel-shaped fields.
