The effect of noise on complex permittivity reconstruction in mathematical breast model

摘要

Cancer detection in breast using microwave imaging relies on accuracy of complex permittivity reconstruction. Microwave imaging is highly sensitive to noise due to low amplitude of scattered electric field. In this paper, the effect of noise on complex permittivity reconstruction is shown using different noise scenarios. In the presence of noise, performance of our inversion method is better than iterative and regularized inversion methods.
