Abstract: Consider time-harmonic acoustic scattering from a bounded penetrable obstacle DsubsetmathbbRN embedded in a homogeneous background medium. The index of refraction characterizing the material inside D is supposed to be H"older continuous near the corners. If DsubsetmathbbR2 is a convex polygon, we prove that its shape and location can be uniquely determined by the far-field pattern incited by a single incident wave at a fixed frequency. In dimensions Ngeq3, the uniqueness applies to penetrable scatterers of rectangular type with additional assumptions on the smoothness of the contrast. Our arguments are motivated by recent studies on the absence of non-scattering wavenumbers in domains with corners. As a byproduct, we show that the smoothness conditions in previous corner scattering results are only required near the corners.
