Abstract

A method is given for calculation of a distribution of small (in comparison with the wavelength) acoustically soft particles, embedded in a medium with known properties, so that the resulting new medium would have a desired radiation pattern. The method is based on the author's theory of wave scattering by small particles of arbitrary shapes and on the author's solution of the 3-D inverse scattering problem of non-relativistic quantum mechanics with fixed-energy scattering data. The problem of finding the distribution of small particles in a medium in a bounded region in such a way that for a fixed wavenumber and a fixed direction of the incident wave the resulting medium will have a radiation pattern arbitrarily close to an a priori given function on the unit sphere is posed and solved. It is of practical interest that the relative volume of the embedded particles per unit volume of the original medium is negligible. Therefore the injection of the small particles into the medium can be considered as "dusting". Electromagnetic (EM) wave scattering by many small particles is mentioned.
