Millimeter Wave Measurement and Modeling of Terrain Scattering
Abstract
This final report provides a summary of the results realized over the past three years with regard to improved characterization of radar backscatter from terrain. The papers and reports published under this program cover three types of contributions: (a) techniques for measuring the polarimetric scattering response of distributed targets using coherent-on-receive systems, (b) theoretical models for polarimetric scattering from tree canopies and snow- covered terrain, and (c) extensive experimental measurements at 35, 94, and 140 GHz for model targets (such as small trees) under laboratory conditions as measurements for natural surfaces from truck-mounted platforms.
