E(r,), H(r,) j(r,), (r,) Inverse Source Problem E(r,), H(r,) Determine charge current distribution that radiates a prescribed field j(r,), (r,) Non-unique due to N.R. charge-current distributions Radome Determine charge current distribution that radiates a prescribed field in presence of known background structure and subject to “energy” constraints AFOSR San Antonio Meeting
Radiation Problem Background potential Radiation Condition AFOSR San Antonio Meeting
Inverse Source Problem Determine the source that generates a prescribed field everywhere outside the source region Determine the source that generates a prescribed radiation pattern Radiation pattern multipole expansion Determine the source that generates a prescribed set of multipole moments AFOSR San Antonio Meeting
Non-uniqueness-N.R. Sources Pseudo-inverse: Minimize “source energy” Minimum energy source AFOSR San Antonio Meeting
