Statistical Behavior of Polarimetric Radar Response of Terrain with Emphasis on the Millimeter-Wave Region.

Abstract

This final report provides a summary of the results we realized over the past three years in the field of polarimetric radar scattering from terrain. The contributions include: (a) The development of techniques for accurate calibration and measurement of the polarimetric scattering response of distributed targets, (b) The development of detection algorithms using polarimetric data, (c) The development of theoretical models for characterizing scattering by and propagation through dense random media, and (d) The development of semi-empirical models for millimeter-wave scattering from bare-soil surfaces and snow-covered terrain.
