mm-wave reflectivity of land and sea
Abstract
The paper gives a synopsis of currently available amplitude and power spectral characteristics of land clutter, sea clutter, and rain backscatter above the Ku band. Emphasis is on those environmental and radar parameters which can affect the statistical properties of the radar backscatter. Clutter characteristics in the millimeter wave region are compared with those for the lower radar frequencies.
