A one-dimensional configuration is the simplest geometry to invert, yet it has practical application to such problems as scattering from inhomogeneous half spaces and propagation on nonuniform transmission lines. Whether the medium parameters vary continuously or discretely with position, the problem's numerical description can usually be developed in finite-difference approximation. As such, the scattered and transmitted fields can be represented as exponential series, whose exponents are related to the electrical thicknesses of the layers which make up the model. If the exponents or poles are derivable from field data, then the inverse problem is formally solvable. This paper considers application of Prony's method, a procedure for obtaining the poles of exponential signals, to such one-dimensional problems. Analysis of both time-domain and frequency-domain data is studied. The effects of the medium characteristics, number of layers, and other factors are examined. It is concluded that Prony's method has merit for certain classes of one-dimensional inverse problems. |
