Electromagnetic inverse scattering is a method to identify the geometry, location and material properties of
unknown target/targets using the collected scattered field data which may be due to known or unknown sources.
This area of research also extended to work with the dynamic object where the objective is to retrieve velocity
profile along with its general properties. Here we represent all the major development done in electromagnetic
inverse scattering both in static and dynamic platform since last four decades both in time and frequency domain
with its working principle, advantages, and its limitations. We also provided a comprehensive discussion of the
basic theory of inverse scattering analysis both in the static and dynamic domain.
