BACK-SCATTERING OF CIRCULARLY POLARIZED WAVES FROM SLIGHTLY ROUGH SURFACES

Abstract

The analysis of the interaction of electromagnetic waves with a slightly rough surface has previously been carried out for the case of horizontal and vertical polarization. The purpose of this paper is to extend these results to the case of circular polarization, and to attempt to determine the radar back- scattering coefficient of the Moon by this method.
