In this Letter we suggest an iteratii:e imaging technique based on a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for a perfectly conducting cylinder. It is numerically shown that an imaging technique that uses SA does not require prior knowledge regarding the center and the shape of an object9 whereas one th

Abstract
This paper considers microwave imaging of parallel perfectly conducting cylinders using a solution of the scattering problem by the point‐matching method. A cubic B‐spline, real‐coded genetic algorithm and an adaptive hybrid algorithm are proposed to solve the inverse problem. Previous shape functions in trigonometric series with arbitrary coefficients are nondefinite, which intensify the ill‐posedness and slow the early time convergence of the algorithm. A novel shape function based on cubic B‐splines is developed and the real‐coded genetic algorithm is modified accordingly. Numerical simulation examples show that the early time convergence of the real‐coded genetic algorithm is improved significantly. Next, the adaptive hybrid algorithm is developed to improve the late time convergence of the cubic B‐spline real‐coded genetic algorithm. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the scattering by a rectangular‐section perfectly conducting cylinder. The solution method is based on the use of the Neumann series; the problem is regularized by factorizing the right edge behavior of the current. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Micr
This article presents a computational approach to the image reconstruction of a perfectly conducting cylinder illuminated by transverse electric waves. A perfectly conducting cylinder of unknown shape buried in one half-space and scatters the incident wave from another half-space where the scattered
## Abstract We consider the scattering of a plane time‐harmonic electromagnetic wave by a perfectly conducting infinite cylinder with axis in the direction k, where k is the unit vector along the z axis. Suppose the incident wave propagates in a direction perpendicular to the cylinder. For a given
