INFLUENCE OF ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF THE GROUND ON THE BACKSCATTER COEFFICIENT AT HIGH FREQUENCY
Abstract
A theoretical expression for the relative backscatter coefficient was evaluated for different values of the dielectric constant and conductivity of the ground, the wavelength, polarization and incidence angle of the radiation, and the heights of the scatterers above the ground. The resulting curves of backscatter coefficient vs angle of incidence are not unlike some experimentally derived curves for hf backscatter, especially with regard to the differences between horizontal and vertical polarization and between land and sea.
