This paper concerns a fast, one-step iterative imaging technique of extended perfectly conducting cracks with Dirichlet boundary condition. In order to reconstruct shape of cracks from scattered field data measured on boundary, we introduce a topological derivative based electromagnetic imaging function operated at several nonzero frequencies. Some properties of imaging function are carefully analyzed for the symmetric and non-symmetric incident field directions configuration. This analysis shows that why application of incident fields with symmetric direction operated at multiple frequency guarantee a successful reconstruction. Various numerical simulations with noise corrupted data are accomplished to examine its performance, effectiveness, robustness and limitations.
