Summary: 
An electromagnetic (EM) inverse scattering problem that involves the reconstruction of microwave images for dielectric objects is considered in this paper. This ill-posed and nonlinear problem is treated as a global optimization problem, and is solved by the application of micro-genetic algorithm (m-GA). The reconstructed results obtained by m-GA have shown that it is an effective technique for microwave imaging and satisfactory performance is achieved when compared with the conventional genetic algorithms.
