Measurements of the backscatter matrix of dielectric spheroids
Abstract
The paper presents measurements at 2.86 GHz of the backscatter matrix of 57 spheroidal samples at all angles in the low-resonance region. The observations were made at zero precipitation when the wind was less than 15 km/hour. Results are presented for six series of oblate spheroids and two series of prolates. The results are applicable to ice and hydrometeors such as hail and frozen raindrops.
