Abstract

This letter conveys a simple method for remote sensing of the surface properties, both physical and geometrical, of a randomly rough surface by means of a polychromatic bistatic radar. Difficulties in evaluating the properties of a randomly rough surface by the conventional method of calculating the scattering cross section or the average power are discussed.
