L-Band VV Clutter Analysis for Natural Land in Northern Territory Areas

Abstract

Land clutter is statistical by nature, and its values vary in many different dimensions. This report analyses land clutter characteristics using AirSAR data for airborne L band VV polarised radars. In particular, the report concentrates on the distribution of clutter values with respect to grazing angles for various vegetation communities typically seen in the Northern Territory region in Australia. Future reports will address wider aspects, including spatial distributions and Doppler spectra of clutter sufficient to enable the generation of radar clutter models.
