Uniqueness of complex permittivity reconstruction in a parallel-plane waveguide

The paper presents a statement and a proof of uniqueness of solution to the inverse problem of determination of permittivity of a lossy dielectric inclusion in a parallel-plane waveguide from the reflection and transmission characteristics. The approach is based on the analysis of asymptotic representations of a solution to the direct problem of diffraction of a transverse electric wave and employs a generalization of the notion of partial far-field patterns applied for a guide.
