Abstract

The feasibility of recovering the fractal dimension of self-similar fractals from the back-scattering measurements is demonstrated. For this purpose, the well known Sierpinski gasket is modelled as an ensemble of lossless dielectric beads, and the scattered field computations are carried out using the coupled dipole approximation procedure.
