Polarization Signature of Radar Backscattering Spatial Variations

A new type of polarization signatures for the radar imaging of the Earth’s cover is proposed. These signatures allow determining the degree of spatial variations of the backscattering coefficient based on the fractal approach. The azimuthal dependence of the radar backscattering spatial variations i...

Summary:A new type of polarization signatures for the radar imaging of the Earth’s cover is proposed. These signatures allow determining the degree of spatial variations of the backscattering coefficient based on the fractal approach. The azimuthal dependence of the radar backscattering spatial variations is discovered when analyzing backscattering on a pine forest.
