Reduced order computational methods for electromagnetic material interrogation using pulsed signals and conductive reflecting interfaces

We consider the interrogation by means of a pulsed planar electromagnetic wave of a dielectric slab with a supraconductive backing. Previous work using a weak formulation with finite elements (FE) demonstrated the ability to determine material parameters and the slab thickness in the inverse problem. In this work we report on results using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to create a more efficient set of basis functions than the standard FE basis functions. We first demonstrate the ability of the reduced basis POD formulation to capture the electromagnetic behavior in the case of the forward problem. We then apply the POD formulation to the inverse scattering problem with unknown parameters and show that the POD formulation provides a considerable reduction in computational time over standard FE methods with comparable ability to recover the unknown parameter values.
