One of the greatest challenges in developing algorithms for imaging from scattered fields is the lack of suitable scattered field data from known targets. It has proved quite difficult to acquire this data from measurements in the laboratory due the fact it can be costly, time consuming, and limited by available target physical characteristics. It would be ideal to develop a structured way to virtually model various known targets to produce simulated scattered field data for use in working with imaging algorithms. In this paper, such a method is proposed and it is demonstrated that the data obtained from this method is valid and comparable to measured data from physical test.
