Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a data-driven deep learning (DL) method to recognize various electromagnetic (EM) scattering mechanisms. With appropriate training data containing different EM scattering mechanisms, the proposed network can accurately recognize the EM scattering mechanisms of complex models. Numerical experiments show that the DL network architecture is effective for both vertical polarization and horizontal polarization scattered field, and the average relative recognition error of the proposed method is less than 5%. This paper shows that deep neural networks have a good learning capacity for EM scattering mechanism recognition. This provides a research strategy for solving EM scattering mechanism identification in more complex EM environments.
