description This paper deals with 3D and 2D linear inverse scattering approaches based on the Born approximation, and investigates how the model dimensionality influences the imaging performance. The analysis involves dielectric objects hosted in a homogenous and isotropic medium and a multimonostatic/multifrequency measurement configuration. A theoretical study of the spatial resolution is carried out by exploiting the singular value decomposition of 3D and 2D scattering operators. Reconstruction results obtained from synthetic data generated by using a 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulator are reported to support the conclusions drawn from the analysis of resolution limits. The presented analysis corroborates that 3D and 2D inversion approaches have almost identical imaging performance, unless data are severely corrupted by the noise.
