Abstract :
A ground based experiment measuring relief effects on microwave radiation at C band (6.925 GHz) was carried on. According to the results of the field observation, relief effects were dived into primary and secondary effects. Both effects based we developed a relief effect simulated model that provides a reliable method to describe microwave radiation properties over mountain areas.
