Ground microwave operations
Abstract
A three-band, ground-based scatterometer system is described. The principles of frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar, radar cross-section, and fading are reviewed. For the scatterometer, the system hardware, new hardware development, and the operating procedure used in experiments conducted from August 1985 to mid-summer 1988 are described.
