Detection of small electromagnetic inhomogeneities with inaccurate frequency

Abstract

Generally, in the application of subspace migration for detecting locations of small inhomogeneities, one begins reconstruction procedure with a priori information of applied frequency. However, mathematical theory of subspace migration has not been developed satisfactorily when applied frequency is unknown. In this paper, we identify mathematical structure of subspace migration imaging function for finding locations of small inhomogeneities in two-dimensional homogeneous space by establishing a relationship with Bessel functions of integer order zero and one of the first kind. This expression indicates the reason behind the appearance of inaccurate locations. Numerical simulations are performed to support our analysis.
