In this paper, a microwave imaging method for reconstructing two-dimensional dielectric scatterers is presented. Starting from an integral formulation of the electromagnetic scattering phenomena, the method is aimed at determining the dielectric profile of the scatterer under test by means of an innovative particle swarm algorithm. In order to preliminary assess the effectiveness of the proposed method, some numerical experiments are carried out in noiseless as well as in noisy conditions. The obtained results confirm the capabilities of the proposed method in term of reconstruction accuracy and robustness.
