title: Inverse scattering problem in presence of a conducting cylinder.
abstract: This paper deals with the inverse scattering problem, in which a conducting cylinder is placed near samples that are to be reconstructed. Due to multiple scattering effect, the radius of the conducting cylinder and its distance to samples play an important role in inverse scattering problem. The paper investigates the role of the conducting cylinder under different arrangement of transmitting/receiving antennas. Numerical simulations show that with a proper arrangement of the cylinder and transmitting/receiving antennas, it is possible to achieve high-resolution reconstruction results with fewer antennas than when the conducting cylinder is absent.
