  • Inverse Scattering for Soft Fault Diagnosis in Electric Transmission Lines
    IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2015
    Co-Authors: Zhang Qinghua, Sorine Michel, Admane Mehdi
    Abstract:

    Today's advanced reflectometry methods provide an efficient solution for the diagnosis of electric transmission line hard faults (open and short circuits), but they are much less efficient for soft faults, in particular, for faults resulting in spatially smooth variations of characteristic impedance. This paper attempts to fill an important gap for the application of the Inverse Scattering transform to reflectometry-based soft fault diagnosis: it clarifies the relationship between the reflection coefficient measured with reflectometry instruments and the mathematical object of the same name defined in the Inverse Scattering theory, by reconciling finite length transmission lines with the Inverse Scattering transform defined on the infinite interval. The feasibility of this approach is then demonstrated by numerical simulation of lossless transmission lines affected by soft faults, and by the solution of the Inverse Scattering problem effectively retrieving smoothly varying characteristic impedance profiles from reflection coefficients.

  • Nonlinear diffraction tomography: The use of Inverse Scattering for imaging
    International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology, 1996
    Co-Authors: Weng Cho Chew, W.h. Weedon, G.p. Otto, J. H. Lin, Ying Wang, Mahta Moghaddam
    Abstract:

    Our recent Inverse Scattering work has been to derive Inverse Scattering theory and algorithms that can be used to process practical experimental data. The theory makes use of computation of the forward Scattering solution. Therefore, an efficient forward solver is instrumental to the rapid solution of the Inverse Scattering problem. The advantage of the more sophisticated theory over a linear theory is that it accounts for multiple Scattering effects within the scatterers which often give rise to distortions in an image. A new method to invert strong scatterers, such as metallic scatterers, is presented. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

  • Inverse Scattering and Imaging Using Broadband Time-Domain Data
    Ultra-Wideband Short-Pulse Electromagnetics 2, 1995
    Co-Authors: Weng Cho Chew, W.h. Weedon, Mahta Moghaddam
    Abstract:

    In Inverse Scattering, one attempts to determine the internal profile of an in-homogeneous object from measurement data collected away from the scatterer. For example, Inverse Scattering may be used to locate and image a possible crack or defect in a civil structure in the field of nondestructive testing. It is also used to generate images of geophysical formations for locating minerals or buried objects such as hazardous wastes. Inverse Scattering is used in medical imaging in X-rays as well as ultrasonic or CAT scans. There are also military applications for locating and identifying targets from radar data. Basically, the theory of Inverse Scattering applies whenever waves are used to probe objects for information about their structure. In addition to obtaining the image of an object, a quantitative description of the scatterer such as its permittivity, velocity, or conductivity profile is also obtainable from Inverse Scattering methods and can contribute invaluable diagnostic information.

  • Code-division multiplexing and frequency-division multiplexing for nonlinear Inverse Scattering
    IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 1999 Digest. Held in conjunction with: USNC URSI National Radio Science Meeting (Cat. N, 1
    Co-Authors: Fu-chiarng Chen, Weng Cho Chew
    Abstract:

    This paper presented a new scheme for nonlinear Inverse Scattering. We have applied the code-division multiplexing (CDM) and frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) schemes to reduce the CPU run time and memory requirement of the time-domain nonlinear Inverse Scattering solvers, the distorted Born iterative method (DBIM) and LSF, by a factor proportional to the number of transmitters. This novel approach for Inverse Scattering is a major advancement because of the large reduction of the memory requirement and the computational time of the nonlinear Inverse Scattering.

  • Complexity issues in Inverse Scattering problems
    IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium. 1999 Digest. Held in conjunction with: USNC URSI National Radio Science Meeting (Cat. N, 1
    Co-Authors: Weng Cho Chew
    Abstract:

    Summary form only given. The paper overviews the Inverse Scattering problem. It begins by discussing linear Inverse Scattering problems followed by nonlinear Inverse Scattering problems. Popular linear Inverse Scattering methods are diffraction tomography, holographic method, synthetic aperture radar method, and Born inversion method. These methods generally do not account for multiple Scattering of the wave field inside a scatterer. Though simple, certain physics is missed in these methods. To account for multiple Scattering, one has to resort to nonlinear Inverse Scattering methods. This can be achieved via the use of the Born iterative method, the distorted Born iterative method, or the Newton-type methods. The computational complexity of linear Inverse Scattering methods such as diffraction tomography is analyzed, and compared with the computational complexity of the nonlinear Inverse Scattering method, such as the Born iterative and distorted Born iterative methods. It is essential that fast forward solvers be used to solve the forward Scattering problem for the nonlinear Inverse Scattering methods, since the bottleneck in these methods is the solution of the forward solver.

    2004
    Co-Authors: Alexander G. Ramm
    Abstract:

    Inverse Scattering and spectral one-dimensional problems are discussed systematically in a self-contained way. Many novel results due to the author are presented. The classical results are often presented in a new way. Several highlights of the new results include: 1) Analisys of the invertibility of the steps in the Gel'fand-Levitan and Marchenko inversion procedures. 2) Theory of the Inverse problem with I-function as the data and its applications. 3)  Proof of the property C for ordinary differential operators, numerous applications of property C. 4) Inverse problems with "incomplete" data. 5) spherically symmetric Inverse Scattering problem with fixed-energy data: analysis of the Newton-sabatier (NS) scheme for inversion of fixed-energy phase shifts is given.
