Study of Electromagnetic Scattering Characteristics from Typical Land Surface with Integral Equation Method

Abstract:

Based on the equivalent dielectric model, the permittivity of the soil and simple plants which are assumed to satisfy exponential rough surface model is calculated. The electromagnetic scattering coefficients for the two types of rough surfaces are investigated by the Integral Equation Method (IEM) with the changing dielectric constant. The detailed analysis and discussions are made. And the results obtained are in good agreement with the experimental results.
