Characterization of natural or artificial emissions
Abstract
The temporal, spatial, and energy characterization of natural and artificial electromagnetic emissions in the framework of remote sensing is discussed. The temporal characterization involves the representation of deterministic and random electromagnetic fields and takes into account wave coherence and noncoherence. Spatial characterization involves the study of wave polarization, while energy characterization involves the investigation of photometric and/or radiometric parameters.
