| contents | Inverse medium scattering problems arise in many applications, but in practice, the measurement data are often restricted to a limited aperture by physical or experimental constraints. Classical sampling methods, such as MUSIC and the linear sampling method, are well understood for full-aperture data, yet their performance deteriorates severely under limited-aperture conditions, especially in the presence of noise. We propose a new sampling method tailored to the inverse medium problem with limited-aperture data. The method is motivated by the linear sampling framework and incorporates a weight function into the index function. The weight is designed so that the modified kernel reproduces the full-aperture behavior using only limited data, which both localizes oscillations and improves the conditioning of the far-field system, thereby yielding more accurate and stable reconstructions. We provide a theoretical justification of the method under the Born approximation and an efficient algorithm for computing the weight. Numerical experiments in two and three dimensions demonstrate that the proposed method achieves greater accuracy and robustness than existing sampling-type methods, particularly for noisy, limited-aperture data. |
