Abstract
We present in this study some three-dimensional numerical results that validate the use of the linear sampling method as an inverse solver in electromagnetic scattering problems. We recall that this method allows the reconstruction of the shape of an obstacle from the knowledge of multi-static radar data at a fixed frequency. It does not require any a priori knowledge of the physical properties of the scatterer nor any nonlinear optimization scheme. This study also contains some analytical results in the simplified case of a spherical scatterer that somehow make the link between known abstract theoretical results and the numerical scheme. Special attention has been given to pointing out the influence of the frequency on the inversion accuracy.
