The problem of determining the shape of perfectly conducting cylindrical structures with arbitrary cross sections from electromagnetic scattering data is considered. Applying the method of lines, an efficient procedure is found for determining the shape of a cylinder from its electromagnetic scattering amplitude. To illustrate the procedure and its preliminary computational performance, numerical examples for cylinders with circular or cardioid cross sections are presented. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
